blog 9


This week’s reading discussed the cultural, social and aesthetic shifts in Britain in the late 1950’s and 1960’s. These shifts have caused a major part in our design culture today.

Postmodernism and Remix techniques are a vibrant part of our design culture today. This 3D image of a coffee table is a perfect postmodern example of contemporary design.

Created by Martin Gallagher, it is based on cylindrical forms and utilizes ornamental eclecticism and manipulations of scale as a technique. At first look the image does not even stand to look like a coffee table until the details have been read. This is a good example of a Remix technique.
