The decoration of the 1960´s acts like a crucible where it reflects all the advances of the new society.The women takes a new roll, away from the simply housewife during the 1950´s.
In 1965, appeared the mini-skirt, one garment wich showed the independent character wich the women enjoyed in the sixties. The moon landing, the pop art, festivals like Woodstock, the psycodelia...All this exaggerated and countercultural motions created a new aesthetic wich will have their own influence in the interior arquitecture.


In this decade there were produced technologicall advances wich suposed the creation of new materials and also a new style.
This materials let new possibilities in design and the construction of new furnitures. The perplex, the vynile or the fiber will be some of the new products wich will generate a new esthetic, actually knowed as retro futurism. With all the technicall innovations, the colour was the main character. Colour and psycodelia were in a privilege position in upholstery and painted papers, elements wich influence will grow very high in the 1970´s.

Italy will be one of the more innovative countries of this decade. Joe colombo stands like one of their biggest representatives.
Vico Magistretti, Castiglioni, Gaetano Scolari, Eero Aarnio were some of the designers wich exemplifly this aesthetic change where the 1960´s are very knowed.

La decoración de los años 40 viene marcada en primer lugar por un hecho de carácter geográfico. En una Europa arrasada por las contiendas mundiales, el centro cultural que históricamente había representado París da paso a la ciudad de Nueva York como exponente de la modernidad.
