Miller's. Collection the 1950s

Meer over het boek

Marilyn Monroe, rock 'n'roll, televisions, Coca Cola, refrigerators, science fiction, and teenagers all burst on to the scene in the 1950s, becoming icons of this brash, bold decade and marking the swing from post-war austerity to growing prosperity. Leading the way in design were new names such as Terence Conran in Britain, Charles and Ray Eames in North America, Christian Dior in France, and Arne Jacobsen in Denmark, producing a wealth of "modern" products, from high-priced furniture to high street fashion. A distinctive 1950s "look" soon developed that is enjoying a well-deserved revival in popularity.
