Decorative Art 60s

Design in the 1960s moved from the bright energy of Pop to the ornate excess of the hippie years. The decade's interiors, lighting and textiles reflect a period of profound social, sexual and political change and an unusual willingness to experiment.

The material is drawn from Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook, a much sought-after annual survey of design, and arranged as a colourful record of the decade's interiors, lighting, textiles and more. Charlotte and Peter Fiell, authors of more than 70 books on the history, theory and criticism of design, edited the volume. The hardcover has 576 pages with text in German, English and French.
