50s love
Lots of 50′s-inspired stuff on my mind lately. Jesse and I have been working with ceramics transfers, both making things very reminiscent of that era (it’s for Rooms on View, but we can’t show anything yet…). And then over the weekend, I bought Taschen’s Decorative Art 50s book, which is an absolute treasure trove of inspiration for textiles, furniture, ceramics, lighting. Wow, it’s totally to swoon for.



I got these pics from the Taschen website, and you can see more

I’m checking this book out asap! I love the 50-60 surface designs.

I’m with you on the 50′s love.. I think I spent half of last year working on a set of flash cards of mid-century (and some just modern) icons. It was such a fun project..
I just lOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. It’s always such a pleasure to peek in and see what you are doing. As another illustrator I’m always so thrilled to see the work you do!
All the best,
Jen
