About this book:
Domus: Volume 5, 1960–1964 captures a dynamic period of transformation in architecture and design. As the influence of Organic Design declined, new movements like Pop Art and Pop Design gained momentum, reshaping aesthetics and cultural priorities. The volume reflects how designers began embracing synthetic materials such as foam plastics, moving away from traditional mediums like wood, metal, and glass. This shift signaled a break from rigid modernist ideals, blending functionality with bold experimentation. Showcasing pivotal moments in interior design and beyond, this edition provides a vivid portrait of a decade embracing innovation, diversity, and the beginnings of playful modernism.
