Book Hero thinking about your next read

Retro and Vintage are buzzwords that include 1930s Jagermeister, 1950s Roberts DAB Radio, and 1970s G Plan Furniture. This volume presents a wide range of products that are back in the limelight in their original version, or with modern technology behind the old exterior.

Retro & Vintage Design features buzzwords that include intriguing designs from the past, like the 1930s Jägermeister, 1950s Roberts DAB Radio, and 1970s G Plan Furniture. While timeless items such as Eames Lounge Chairs, Levis 501, or Chanel N° 5 have always been in vogue and have evolved into style icons, other products and styles were (almost) forgotten.

Rediscovered in recent years, some of these products have made a comeback, reaching unprecedented levels of popularity today and becoming part of a hip lifestyle. This volume presents a wide range of products that are back in the limelight in their original version or updated with modern technology while retaining the old exterior.

Furthermore, the selection also includes new products that draw on styles from the past, as well as modified relaunches and new editions. Whether they pertain to food, technology, fashion, or transportation, Retro & Vintage Design is a celebration of nostalgia that makes reference to bygone times.
