Vintage Home: 20th-century Design for Contemp... - Judith Miller
Vintage Home is both a practical collector's guide - what to look out for - and a celebration of the period. It looks at objects from around the world that were made for every taste and budget. It covers both serious and costly designer creations, which sell in major auction houses worldwide, and cheerful mass-produced kitsch, which you can pick up in car boot sales, charity shops, flea markets and yard sales.
The period is also infused with the importance of women after the First World War and the emergence of a youth culture, and the new market for modern, fashionable goods from the 1950s onward. Designers in the twentieth century were driven by the possibilities of mass-production and excited by the host of new materials. Where the older generation were used to 'make do and mend', the young embraced wholeheartedly the disposable society.
They replaced the old with something new and fashionable, a taste epitomised by colourful plastic furniture and paper dresses. The consequence is a fabulous array of every type of object for the collector.
