‎the 60s and 1970s marked a sharp turning point in the history of decoration and furniture. Until that point, the world was confined to national and elitist forms of expression. At the beginning of the 1960s, the sector took its inspiration from Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Italian and French decoration. Genres were combined in a frenzied desire to live in symbiosis with one's time. The progress of technology strengthened the conviction that the individual had unlimited freedom and aroused the desire to inhabit in a new manner. Forms became rounder, furniture was in sync with a warm, playful, and anticonformist universe. Colours and decorative motifs took on the brilliance and fantasies of Pop Art and psychedelia. The living environment was transformed into a waking dream in which luxurious furniture in original materials and surprising objects were mixed, associated, for the first time, with early furniture. The end of the 1970s marked the advent of a period in which beauty and classic elegance gave way to a host of expressions that were unclassifiable and rejected any hierarchy. The postmodern period had arrived. Composed of a long introduction that provides a synoptic view and 32 monographs that describe its many faces, this book invites the reader to discover an exceptionally creative period and revels through an abundant iconography. Les annees 60 et 70 sont indissociables dans l'histoire de la decoration et du mobilier. Elles marquent un tournant radical dans un monde jusqu'alors confine a des expressions nationales et elitistes. Tout eclate au debut des annees 60. La mode est a la fois d'inspiration anglosaxonne, scandinave, italienne et francaise. Les genres se melangent dans un desir effrene de vivre en symbiose avec son temps. Les progres de la technologie accreditent la conviction d'une liberte conquerante de l'individu et suscitent des desirs inedits d'une nouvelle maniere d'habiter, fut-ce dans des cellules de science-fiction. Les formes s'arrondissent, les sieges deviennent des tapis-sculptures qui permettent de se lover dans des univers chaleureux, ludiques et anticonformistes. Les couleurs et les motifs decoratifs epousent l'eclat et les delires du Pop' Art et du psychedelisme. L'espace d'habitation se transforme en reve eveille ou se melent un mobilier luxueux dans des materiaux inedits et des objets surprenants de toutes origines, associes, fait nouveau, a des meubles anciens. La fin des annees 70 marque l'avenement d'une epoque ou la beaute et l'elegance classique cedent le pas a une multitude d'expressions qui echappent a tout classement et a toute hierarchie. L'heure du post-modernisme a sonne. Compose d'une longue introduction qui en donne une vision synoptique et de trente-deux monographies qui decrivent ses multiples visages, ce livre rend intelligible une periode exceptionnellement creative et revele a travers une abondante iconographie, souvent inedite, sa formidable richesse esthetique. Une iconographie mise a jour, une nouvelle jaquette et trois nouveaux decorateurs viennent enrichir cette nouvelle edition. ‎
