RELIC 50 Inspiring Vintage Advertisements Like many others I find myself captivated with vintage advertising. There have been numerous articles, blog posts and websites dedicated to the subject and I just can’t seem to get enough. Specifically, it is the advertising of the 50′s and 60′s that is most aesthetically pleasing to me.

Architecture-Page | International resource for architecture and design Architecture Design for Architects Le bureau : un meuble, un espace, une industrie… des tendances, des influences, des designers… / Passion Bureau La 52eme édition du Salon du Meuble de Milan a clos ses portes dimanche 14 avril 2013. Un des évènements marquants de cette édition fut sans conteste la scénographie « Bureau à vivre » conçue par l’architecte Jean Nouvel. Cela permit d’attirer de nombreux visiteurs aux pavillons 22 et 24 qui abritent le « Salone Ufficio » consacré à l’industrie du bureau. En complément, un espace spécifique regroupait des bureaux exceptionnels signés Jean Prouvé, Frank Lloyd Wright ou Gaetano Pesce (entre autres).
