1970s

These photographs of 1970s crockery and a candle from my grandmas house are a perfect example of shapes and patterns used at this time. It was beneficial for me to see these things in real life because I got to feel them and look at them from all angles. I really like the shape of the small tea mug, is got a funky handle and the use of circles is really apparent. The colours are also important to take note of as there’s a lot of browns, burnt orange and a rich red. Even though I don’t plan on using these particular shades of colour, it’s still useful to take note of and apply elements of these ideas to my designs. The candle reminds me of lines and shapes used in pleated skirts. Lines are also apparent on the bowl, I really want to use this in my designs.
