Rising incomes and postwar rebuilding on both sides of the Atlantic led to a massive housing boom in both the suburbs and inner cities, and these new homes reflected the new style.

This overview of the decade includes the work of such famous innovators as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner, and Gio Ponti.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41765125554309,"sku":"PR399499","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TNXFL4L9JQJ8.jpg?v=1784046069","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/decorative-art-50s","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
