But it was not just about replicating past styles; everything was given an irreverent twist to make it all its own. The swinging 60’s saw the free love movement flourish underneath the dark shadow of probable nuclear annihilation. Striking out against modernism, the 60’s sought to radically combine elements of the past with the new, forming post modernism. It was a time for experimentation. The picture perfect TV home of June cleaver moved into the brighter more colorful home of The Brady Bunch.

Use tongue and groove and leave it unpainted for a sauna room feel. • Floors - you've got to have a shag pile rug - the bigger the better. • Furniture - go for plastic or transparent blow-up furniture. Choose 'S' and egg shapes, and anything that looks futuristic and space age furniture, and paint it in bright colours. • Bean bags - create a laid-back chill-out room with mattresses on the floor, bean bags and loads of scatter cushions to make a conversation pit.

A few yearsafter leaving art school in his native Sydney, the Australian designer Marc Newson (1963-) moved to Tokyo, where he became fascinated by Japanese culture – from the purity of traditional ukiyo-e, to the candy-coloured kitsch of kawaii. Newson was also fascinated by the Japanese craft of origami, or paper folding, aesthetically and in terms of its functional possibilities. When creating the compound curved form of his 1988 Felt Chair, Newson applied the origami principle of working from a flat piece of thick felt – of the type he admired in Joseph Beuys’ sculpture. He later worked with Cappellini to remake the Felt Chair in fibreglass. Fibreglass Felt ChairDesign: Marc Newson Fibreglass, aluminium Production by, Italy
