Furniture
Flat pack furniture, “S” and pod-shaped chairs made of space age shapes and materials were the look. Furniture was made of metal, glass, wood and PVC, and sometimes combinations of these. New technologies allowed furniture to be made from molded plastic and formed into organic or space age shapes. A lot of furniture was designed to be disposable and temporary.
Open shelving in the Danish style was often used as room separators.
Styles were fun and witty overall. Homes were now being built with casual family rooms or dens in addition to having just a formal living room. The TV became the focal point of the family room. TV trays were designed so dinner could be eaten where the family gathered—in front of the television.
