We are in the year 1957: The Sputnik satellite orbits the Earth, the race to the moon has begun – and the design scene catapults the futuristic space look into our living rooms: furniture with high-tech aesthetics, space-age design, in short, everything reminiscent of rocket shapes becomes an absolute must. And the fascination continues to this day: Retrofuturism is on everyone's lips. Astro-design, which emerged with the popular culture of the 1960s, is currently experiencing a revival – it's time to celebrate the design icons of Space Age furniture with this eye-catching illustrated book!

This impressive coffee table book pays tribute to the great names of the design scene.
