It begins in 1945 with such achievements as the highly sculptural plywood chairs of Charles and Ray Eames, who were among the first to use organic shapes derived from the natural world. Revolutionary 1950s designs, including Harry Bertoia's wire Diamond chairsâ"studies in space, form and metal"âand Eero Saarinen's futuristic Pedestal Group, were followed in the late 1950s by the rise of consumerismâand the eccentricities of kitschâwhich in turn gave way in the 1960s to the explosion of Pop.The following decades were equally rich, with the development of Counter Design by Ettore Sottsass, the factory lights and scaffolding supports of High-Tech, the Craft Revival, Art Furniture, Ergonomic styling, and much else, with each trend continuing to show intriguing national and regional differences.
