We absolutely love exploring a time capsule back to the 1950s and 60s, marveling at how designers from that era envisioned ‘the future’.
Time and again, their predictions are surprisingly accurate, and even in cases where they missed the mark, it’s endearing to see their imaginative spirit. This collection continues to impress, remaining relevant and inspiring even 70 years later!
Illustrator Charles Schridde made his mark by visualizing the home of the future. This collection of fascinating illustrations was commissioned by Motorola, and Schridde was tasked with featuring their technology at the center of the designs.
The mid-century designs still look cool today, and some of them have gone on to inspire movie sets (Incredibles 2, anyone?) and 21st century architects.
Great retro-futurism. Via Atomic Ranch:
