60s Design by Philippe Garner
The 1960s offered designers the opportunity to focus on new spaces: airport lounges and concourse, corporate headquarters with their lobbies and open-plan offices. This book documents the many, sometimes contradictory, trends in 1960s design, spanning the Bauhaus school of modernism, pop art, science fiction and the anti-design movement. It covers such topics as the design of mass-produced objects, packaging, advertising art and visual fantasy films, such as Roger Vadim's "Barbarella" and Stanley Kubrick's "2001". This book also examines examples of so-called anti-design and the rennaissance of craftmanship following the wave of rebellion amongst the young generation towards the end of the 1960s.Philippe Garner is a Director and the World Head of Photos and 20th Century Decorative Art & Design at Christie's. He is widely regarded as an expert in these subjects, having produced numerous essays and books on various topics of photography and applied arts history. In addition, he has curated shows in museums in London, Paris, and Tokyo.
