Seventies Design: A collection of 70's pictures.

Here you will find a gallery with about 280 pictures, big or small, from the 1970's decade.

Lately a renewed interest was found in the funky-kitsch designs from the space age. These groovy and glamourous items have often become very much sought-after by nostalgia collectors. But I think everyone can agree that this certain style has a very cool look. Some are crazy about the muscle cars. Others dress up for a disco party, inspired by the fashion back then; bell-bottom trousers, platform shoes and afro hairstyles. Remember television shows like Charlies Angels, UFO, Dukes of Hazard and Starsky and Hutch? And remember movies like Barbarella, 2001, and Clockwork Orange? Then you know what I mean. Remember the plastic blow-chair, or the ball-chair by world famous designer Eero Arnio? You'll find it here. Are you looking to (re)decorate your home? Get inspired here by the bold and colourful interior designs by, among others, Verner Panton. Or check out the art by Victor Vasarely, the Fillmore rock-posters, or the velvet blacklight posters.
Have fun!

Q: Why don't you have more information about the pictures, like name, designer, and year of design?
A: This website originally started as an inspirational resource for me and my friends. Over time I did not record any information about the pictures. So the pictures are provided as is.

Q: Some of the items are not from the seventies at all. So why show them here?
A: This is true. "Seventies design" is a concept that is not meant to be taken in such a strict context. Books about this subject also show items from the late sixties, or early eighties. By "seventies design" we mean a certain style, which is often round in form, colourful, and wild by idea.
