Bringing Modernity Home offers a retrospective view of the development of popular taste and the beginnings of a new phase in the rise of the consumer society in the post second world war period through a series of thought-provoking accounts of developments in modern design history. It traces the change to consumer-led design after a time of grim austerity and recovery from the war while the state and production considerations held sway at a time when consumers 'couldn't afford taste'. The case studies of so-called frivolous items like the cocktail cabinet, the tufted carpet, and the rise of DIY in the working class homes of the 'new towns' gives a flavour of the excitement and thrill they afforded designers, makers and consumers after the harsh deprivations of the war. Collection of key essays.
