Pop Design

Pop is a term that was invented in the 1950's, this term came from the emergence of poplar culture during that decade. The so known Independent Group was founded in London and its members, which also includes the artist Richard Hamilton, the sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi, the design critic Reyner Banham and last but not least, Peter and Alison Smithson, these two were among some of the first to explore and celebrate the growth of popular consumer culture in America. An expected fact is that POP also began to manifest itself in the design of everyday objects.

Scandinavian Design

A Scandinavian design is a design movement that is described by simplicity, minimalism and functionality was starting to appeal in the 1950's in Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark.

While the term Scandinavia is only reffering to the three kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, it could be used for many different things and in a lot of different ways to refer all of te above five countries.

The concept of Scandinavian design has been the subject of many scholarly debates, exhibitions and marketing agendas since the 1950'smany people put importance in the democratic design ideals that were a central theme of the exitement that it brought and reflected in the rhetoric surrounding contemporary Scandinavian and international design. Some others however, have studied the reception of Scandinavian design in a different country, seeing in it, a form of myth-making and racial politics.

Anti-Design

Anti Design was known as a movement which was originated in Italy in the early 1960's as an opposing response to Modernism, which is also called, Radial Design, especially in architecture. The People who go by the name Modernists stood by the principle of 'form follows function' although on the other hand Anti Design was created by idealism and irony, designers using distinct bright colours, scale distortion and kitsch (widewalls.ch,n.d)

Design has a lot of potential, but rather than using it for mass production, cosumerism and sales, designers of this movement incorporated and expressive qualities to pure function value of an object. (widewalls,ch,n.d)

Boalum Flexible Lamp

The Boalum has alot of principles of design in it which is what makes it astonishing and pop out from any other. The lamp was designed by Gainfranco Frattini and Livio Costaglioni. This lamp is basically a long plastic tube with lightbulbs wired on the inside which then allowed one to control the way the lamp looked. (widewalls,ch,n.d)
