Soft Electronics: Iconic Retro Designs from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s

Description:

The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1970s and 1990s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior. From coffee grinders to fondue sets to hairdryers, each home appliance was intended to help in the daily household routines―but they were also masterpieces of style. Jaro Gielens’s personal collection is one of the world’s largest selections of artifacts that pay homage to this iconic era of design. Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of products from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation―one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book with beautiful products

S. · April 26, 2025

I purchased this for my partner for Valentines Day who loves all plastic design from the 70’s (Colombo, Kartell, etc), and he still talks about how much he loves this book.For anyone who is interested in this type of design, this book will be like looking into a candy shop, but beware- it’s window shopping. Pretty much none of these products can be found for sale, even for display (big sad!)10/10 as a coffee table and creative inspiration book though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect coffee table book!
