VINTAGE DESIGN STORIES
1960S–1970S

Design that talks back

Stories behind objects, movements and makers.

Our journal explores vintage design from the 1960s and 70s — from Space Age experimentation to modernist clarity, with a focus on molded plastics, synthetic materials and the new domestic landscapes they made possible.
