The exploits of Yuri Gagarin, John Glenn and Neil Armstrong ignited a worldwide obsession with futuristic living, bu where did it all go? Intense optimism for a space-age future invaded every aspect of design, from fashion and furniture to architecture and typography. But, all of a sudden, it vanished and euphoria about the future gave way to anxiety. The book charts the rise and fall of the space-age aesthetic and highlights a trend among contemporary artists to question this desceptively complex period. ER -
