Offers a retrospective view of the development of popular taste and the beginnings of a different phase in the rise of the consumer society in the post second world war period through a series of accounts of developments in modern design history.
Bringing Modernity Home offers a retrospective view of the development of popular taste and the beginnings of a new phase in the rise of the consumer society in the post Second World War period. It traces the change to consumer-led design after a time of grim austerity and recovery from the war while the state and production considerations held sway when consumers "couldn't afford taste".
