🚀 Space Age: The futuristic design that conquered the home
Space Age style is one of the most iconic design movements of the 20th century. Born during the space race of the 1960s and 70s, it reflects a fascination with the future, technology, and life in orbit. Today, more than half a century later, it remains a style that brings personality and boldness to any space.
🌌 A little bit of history
The launch of Sputnik in 1957 and the arrival of man on the Moon in 1969 sparked a global enthusiasm for space exploration. This futuristic spirit translated into interiors filled with rounded shapes, innovative materials, and vibrant colors . Homes became settings inspired by space capsules, orbital stations, and science fiction films.
Key features of the Space Age style
- Organic and aerodynamic shapes : designs without right angles, with smooth curves reminiscent of capsules, bubbles and spaceships.
- Innovative materials : use of molded plastics, fiberglass, acrylic and chrome-plated metals that provide shine and lightness.
- Bold color palette : pure whites, oranges, reds, electric greens and metallic finishes.
- Iconic designers : Eero Aarnio (Ball Chair), Verner Panton (Panton Chair), Olivier Mourgue (Djinn Chair) or Joe Colombo, among others.
- Sculptural lighting : Sputnik-type lamps, opal glass globes and luminaires with metal arms.
