In the 1970s and 1980s, postmodernism followed hot on the heels of modernism, as designers challenged the formality and seriousness of architecture and design. Favouring expression and eclecticism, they created fresh, surprising and provocative designs using a distinctive visual language that combined bright colours, unexpected materials and a good dose of humour and irony.
