Synopsis

This title features new materials for new shapes. Sixties Design provides a richly illustrated survey of a remarkable decade. The text reviews the period through certain all-important themes - the Modernist continuum, pop culture, space age styles, utopian ambitions and 'anti-design', identifying the impact of new thinking on every area of design. Embracing a wide variety of media, and making connections between domestic and industrial design, graphics, film, fashion, architecture and city planning, the illustrations highlight the best design examples of the decade.

Media Reviews
For lovers of pop art, Twiggy, the Beatles and everything retro, this book is mecca... Enough to turn the most stringent modernist into a hippy, this is the ultimate guide to the sixties. - Homes & Living, Sydney
