The materials used in this design include dark and silver colours, oval-pod chairs, C-shaped spaceship-like sofas, and bold-coloured carpets and bedding panels. The use of moulded polypropylene plastic and fibreglass creates fluid organic shapes in white, black, vibrant colours, and even transparent forms. Chromed metal frames with clear plastic or glass are often used for seating and tables, creating a sleek and futuristic feel.
Materials
The use of bold-coloured carpets and bedding panels balances the silver and dark colours used throughout the space. The lighting design is dim and sharp, with a focus on creating a futuristic atmosphere. Boomerang-shaped tabletops, lava lamps, and pop art all contribute to the fun and playful mood of this style. The use of UFO-shaped hanging fireplaces reinforces the iconography of the space race with the Soviet Union and adds uncommon visual appeal.
