Published annually from 1906 until 1980, Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook focused on the latest developments in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics. Since these yearbooks are no longer in print, they have become highly sought after by collectors and dealers alike.

This edition shines a light on the 1970s, a decade marked by a futuristic and experimental design approach. Following the revolutionary changes of the 1960s, design and architecture evolved into a vibrant and rapidly changing arena filled with competing styles and movements. The 1970s pushed design boundaries even further than the previous decade.

Experimental ideas flourished throughout the era, with many projects presenting visionary concepts that, while not always practical, paved the way for new directions in decorative art and design. Diverse groups championed various philosophies, including a return to natural craftsmanship, a rejection of style in favor of handmade quality, and an embrace of industrial living taken to its high-rise, concrete extreme.

Decorative Art 1970s features works from some of the decade’s most influential figures, including Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Luigi Colani, Achille Castiglioni, Kisho Kurokawa, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, and Theo Crosby.
