Published annually from 1906 until 1980, Decorative Art, The Studio
Yearbook was dedicated to the latest currents in architecture,
interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and
ceramics. Since the publications went out of print, the now
hard-to-find yearbooks have become highly prized by collectors and
dealers. TASCHEN's Decorative Art 50s explores the spirit of
optimism and the fervent consumerism of the decade. Technology and
construction had been enervated by research during the war and
these discoveries could now be applied in peacetime. The
popularization of plastics, fiberglass, and latex literally shaped
the decade. Rising incomes and postwar rebuilding on both sides of
the Atlantic led to a massive housing boom in both the suburbs and
inner cities, and these new homes reflected the new style. While
European design was extraordinarily inventive, American design was
looking to an idealized vision of the future-between them a modern
idiom was developed that can be seen vividly on these pages. This
overview of the decade includes the work of such famous innovators
as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner, and Gio
Ponti.
