Postmodernism was the defining look of the 1980s. Originating as a
rebellious movement in philosophy and literature, and spearheaded
by Michael Graves, Robert Venturi, Ettore Sottsass and Alessandro
Mendini, Postmodernism proclaimed the death of modernism and
promoted a new, non-linear way of approaching architecture and
design. Its lively and colourful rebellion against modernism's
monotony and dogma spread from architecture to other design
disciplines, and promoted a belief that design need not be taken
too seriously. Postmodern Design Complete is the first book to take
a thoroughgoing look at the movement, which is currently
experiencing a major revival. It profiles key creators and
introduces the principal figures in the fields of architecture,
furniture, graphic design, textiles, and product and industrial
design. It also presents fifteen seminal and complete homes and
their furnishings, and provides a comprehensive overview of
contemporary makers. Highly informed and accessible texts are
illustrated with images that bring together classics and
little-seen rarities, unusual objets d'art and mass-produced items.
The book also includes a foreword by Charles Jencks and an
afterword by Denise Scott Brown, followed by a substantial
reference section. Exhaustively presenting the most knowledgeable
sources and material in a single volume, this is the one book that
the world's lovers of Postmodernism must have, and that the
design-conscious of any persuasion will want.
