Retro is a modern take on the styles of the 50s, from the post-war Modernism that pioneered the mass-produced, machine-made products in revolutionary moulded plastics and chrome to the softer elements of furnishings in pastels and gingham. The book defines the retro palette. It highlights the new materials of the age such as formica and moulded plywood, and the characteristic patterns such as sgraffito, floral, dissected fruit and abstract, and shows how we can use them in a modern context. The book also provides tips on sourcing essential furniture classics and remakes, and all the accessories to create a retro feel in today's home. Lively and informative text is accompanied with approximately 200 photographs shot especially for the book and 10 simple but stunning projects.
