Summary

Ever since the fabulous Fiestaware comeback of the 1980s. retro tableware has been popular with collectors and mainstream magazines alike. Illustrated with dramatic original photography by Thomas Stewart, Modern Retro Table Style contains numerous examples of 1950s functionalism married with the sophistication of 1970s style, and with the funkiness of 1960s pop art thrown in. The text focuses this stylish tableware through the prism of its time, as Madeleine Marsh encourages owners to live and eat with their designer classics and thrift-store finds -- you'll soon be pulling a Verner Panton chair up to an Alvar Aalto table to eat your breakfast with Sergio Asti's space-age flatware.
