Op to Pop: Furniture of the 1960s by Cara Greenberg (Book)

About the Item

Whether it's a lipstick-red love seat shaped like Marilyn Monroe's lips, an anthropomorphic "man" chaise, a bean bag chair, or a "domestic capsule unit," 1960s furniture still has the power to startle and delight. In Op to Pop, Cara Greenberg takes on the little explored but exciting and fertile era of furniture design, providing original, readable scholarship that places 60s furnishings in a cultural context and helps sort the good from the fad. She explores in detail the roots of and influences on 60s design, from space travel to Pop Art, in a joyful visual tour of the decade's bold and fresh looking furniture output. Op to Pop features 250 photographs plus a source guide to the growing number of outlets for the 1960s furniture design. 192 pages. 125 colour and 125 black-and-white photographs. 1.24 kg.
