modern design and a response to pop culture, original postmodern design is valued for its embrace of the unconventional and its inclination for dynamic color use and asymmetry. Though it first appeared in the 1960s, the full fruition of postmodern style was during the 1970s and 1980s. In a departure from the modernist idiom of “form follows function,” postmodern design inverted the principle – allowing for more experimental shapes and themes. Additionally, bold primary and retro colors, often flamboyantly juxtaposed, were commonly used in the postmodern interior. In keeping with the experimentalism of the style, a wide range of unexpected materials were frequently employed, such as plastic, laminate, Lucite and distressed urban materials such as steel. Decorative features were a cherished part of postmodern design, allowing for a more personalized touch to the home interior. Famous pioneers of the postmodern aesthetic include Frank Gehry Call quartz shape with black clear and matte Cubic shape Lucite arrange with Crystal shape Lucite on top of that thick hexagonal shape base material Lucite.
