In the geopolitical landscape, there is a growing collective yearning for the "belle poque" of the 1980s and early 1990s. The return of 80s design promises to bring with it a wave of nostalgia for the simpler times of the past. It can be seen in fashion, where brands are using colors, prints, and shapes reminiscent of the 80s to create unique yet familiar looks. The revival of the 80s design trend is more than just a return to bold aesthetics; it taps into the heart of a decade brimming with vibrant energy, quirky patterns, and daring creativity. With the revival of this decade, designers are exploring what the 80s could look like today.
This book traces the artistic roots that shaped the era, from the forward-thinking visions of Futurism to the rise of the Digital Revolution, before diving headfirst into the nostalgia driving today's retro trends. As designers breathe new life into the 80s, they are defining the essence of 1980s design through bold colors, soft pastels, and shimmering elements. By delving into the innovative work of contemporary designers, the book captures the retro vibe of the past while celebrating its relevance in today's creative landscape.
This is a book that deeply explores the origins and essence of retro design, enhancing combinations of retro elements. For designers, design enthusiasts, and brands or organizations seeking a retro style, this will be an indispensable guide to retro design.
