Op to Pop: Furniture of the 1960s by Cara Greenberg, ISBN 0821225162
From Joe Colombo's "kitchen in a cart" to Olivier Mourgue's Djinn chairs from 2001: A Space Odyssey, from the lipstickted touch shaped like Marilyn Monroe's lips to Eero Aarnio's space-age Ball chair, sixties furniture still has the power to statle and to delight. Op to Pop is a thorough guide whose original, readable scholarship places sixties furnishings in their social and design contexts, sorting the good from the fad and providing names, dates, and other documentation. From fashion to film, the sixties refuse to fade away and for good reason, as Greenberg proves. A fun, colorful survey of the design of the decade, Op to Pop will enthrall those who lived through the sixties as well as those who are discovering those years a new.

The House in Good Taste
After ninety years, "The House in Good Taste" by America's "first lady of interior decoration," Elsie de Wolfe, still offers timeless design advice.
Compiled from her articles in newspapers and magazines and first published in 1914, "The House in Good Taste" is a seminal book on interior design with ideas that have lasted a century because they influenced not only the wealthy clients of Park Avenue and Palm Beach, but popular taste as well.
De Wolfe advised Americans to shun ostentation and clutter in favor of simplicity, to dismantle the draperies in order to let in the light, and to replace garish colors with beige and ivory. "I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint," she declared, "comfortable chairs with lights beside them, open fires on the hearth and flowers wherever they 'belong, ' mirrors and sunshine in all rooms." The rooms that Americans inhabited in the middle of the twentieth century still today owe much to de Wolfe's tastes.
