atomic kinetic ball sculpture by // Thrifters
do you love or loathe post war design? the kind with the brightly coloured atomic balls on the ends, like magazine racks, coat hooks or plant pots...........
this weeks mid week mid century post has a bit of a twist and involves some participation from you, my wonderful readers!
last week i was contacted by emily candela, a PHD candidate for the Royal Collage of Arts and the Science Museum. after having a perusal through my etsy store emily asked me if i would like to be interviewed about post war design (atomic / sputnik) my favourite era of design so of course my response was a very quick yes!
this blog post is in aid of helping emily collate some research from people who have a love or loathing attitude towards post-war design.......... so which ever side of the fence you sit on with this we would love to hear your comments below. here are few questions to help with your answers:
how do you feel about post war designed objects today?
what attracts you to them?
what do these objects represent to you?
what do you think these items do for your home?
please leave any thoughts you have below in the comment box or feel free to email them me (kate) at : hello@thrifters.co.uk
....also if you to would like to be interviewed by emily please get in contact with me at the above email address.
