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. Objects designed for serial production, yet capable of strong identity through form, color and proportion.

From iconic designers to overlooked details, each story offers a way to read objects more precisely and place them with intention in contemporary spaces.
