Description

Decorative Art 50s by Charlotte Fiell and Peter Fiell is a comprehensive overview of the decade's design movements. Published annually from 1906 to 1980, Decorative Art: The Studio Yearbook showcased the latest trends in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics. The 1950s were marked by optimism and consumerism, with technological advancements and post-war rebuilding driving a massive housing boom. This period saw the popularization of plastics, fiberglass, and latex, which shaped the decade's design. The book explores the work of influential designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner, and Gio Ponti, offering a vivid insight into the modern idiom developed during this time. TASCHEN's Decorative Art 50s provides a detailed look at the decade's design movements, making it an essential resource for collectors, dealers, and anyone interested in the history of design.
