70s Style and Design book

70s style

A must for anyone interested in the period, Thames and Hudson's new 70s Style and Design book does exactly what the title suggests. It's a review of the decade, aiming to rescue it from its reputation as the decade that taste forgot. 

Through the generous use of illustrations and witty text the authors, Dominic Lutyens and Kirsty Hislop, show how the Seventies' decorative style drew inspiration from the past – the Art Deco revival and the influence of 60s Pop Art – and continues to influence design today.

With 224 browsable pages, it's an ideal Christmas present and costs just £17.47 on Amazon.
