60s Decorative Art - Fiell Charlotte

. .

Résumé :
The "Swinging Sixties" were years of unprecedented experimentation in architecture and design, during which new materials and increasingly casual ways of living helped fuel the evolution of extraordinary forms. Taschen's reprint of highlights from the Decorative Art yearbooks of the 196os offers a fascinating overview of this often audacious process. From Space Age buildings to Craft Revival ceramics, Decorative Art captures the stylistic diversity of this remarkable decade.
