Good design never ages




The 1960s was a huge decade for design.
From the Swiss grid of Muller Brockman to the amazing furniture of Herman Miller in the first half to
the ‘out of sight’, rule bending responses of Moscoso, Conran and Murdock, in the second half.


The influence of that time is still with us in either the form of its original pieces, found in many a
second hand store or in the design inspiration of contemporary design.


These particular examples of mid 60s interior design, in the form of ceramic lamp bases, are all to be found 
in those groovy second hand stores one finds along Regent Street, in Redfern, Sydney. 
There are at least 4 or 5 great treasure troves of shops packed with unique pieces to be saved by the likes of you all.


Good design never ages...does not have a used by date.
