Cultural Revolution, 1964 - 1974

The 1960s was a period of significant technological and social change. While much of the early 60s were a holdover from the 1950s, by the second half of the decade many areas of design began to take some influence from the youthful counterculture. Fluorescent psychedelic patterns were seen on interior, fashion & graphic design. Futuristic interiors and plastic furnishings reflected space exploration & sci-fi films. Design from this period also became more experimental and radical.
