People say that fashions always come back. The retro style is the most obvious demonstration of this maxim, as it incorporates the designs of some decades ago and inspired them to create new pieces. This trend looks in the mirror of the 50s, 60s and 70s, but also examples that emerged in the early twentieth century. Furniture and decorative retro nature fit perfectly in homes that are a modern, casual and far from conventional.
According to Alexis Obrador, fashion bothers me, the retro “is a return to taste the care and cutting-edge design in everyday objects produced industrially.” Thus, to define the products that would form this kind of environment to do a sort of time travel. The fork includes an extensive period, so it will be possible to find items that go “from simple and functional lines of the ’50s to the furniture and futuristic curved lines of the 70s”, as explained Ana Lopez , Poppy Decoration.
Mass production
Under the industrial revolution took place a series of processes that completely transformed the society of the day. The entry into action of the machine changed the basis on which until then were settled production systems, ushering in a period in which the craft was on the sidelines. The universe underwent radical metamorphosis furniture from the 20s, resulting in “the industrial production of everyday objects such as lamps, cutlery, ceramics, furniture, etc…” Clear signature fashion bothers me.
Emerging designers who are now icons of the twentieth century begin to realize their ideas and although “we cannot consider this style of uniform way”, as Obrador Alexis notes that “all have in common an interest in an elegant design with man as central axis, but without neglecting the functionality of the object. “Names such as Le Corbusier, Panton, Colombo, and Christian Dell or conquer the Eames for a public that today continues to gain their views.
To put more concretely the retro concept, one must go to “capitals like London, New York or Paris,” according to Sophie Darder, of Modulolab, and place ourselves at the time in which the vintage is resumed. In this sense, many people equate the terms vintage and retro, but there is a clear distinction: “represents a return to retro design of the past, while the object is precisely vintage original retro style that seeks to emulate,” qualifies Obrador.
