Sixties Design by Philippe Garner
Offers an illustrated survey of the remarkable sixties' decade. This text reviews the period through certain important themes - the Modernist continuum, pop culture, space age styles, utopian ambitions and 'anti-design', identifying the impact of thinking on various areas of design.
"For lovers of pop art, Twiggy, the Beatles and everything retro, this book is mecca.. Enough to turn the most stringent modernist into a hippy, this is the ultimate guide to the sixties." - Homes & Living, Sydney"
