Retro interiors have come to the fore in recent years as a highly
desirable and valuable branch of interior design. The emergence of
a need for decorative objects and vintage furniture has resurrected
retro style and placed it firmly as a key trend of contemporary
design. "Retro Style: Class, Gender and Design in the Home" is the
first book to explore the modern position of retro by asking
important questions around the emergence of the trend, its impact
on production and consumption and how it manifests itself in the
contemporary interior. Examining themes ranging from design, taste
and the aestheticisation of everyday life to the bohemianisation of
popular culture, the book provides a fascinating insight into how
retro has shaped modern interior design. Using original
ethnographic research from retro retailers, enthusiasts, designers
and media professionals Retro Style explores the positive and
negative side of the style, ultimately providing an original and
thought-provoking perspective on the history and trajectory of how
retro has become what it now is and its bearing on the future of
designed interiors.
