The scooter was a hit design among young people. It was an Italian innovation. Italian design was surging in popularity.
Lambretta LD 150, Italy 1957. First Lambrettas were built in 1947. Main competing brand: Vespa.

In England the scooter became a symbol of the ‘mod’ (modern boys and girls) subculture. The Who was seen as a ‘mod’ band.
Music: The Who: “My Generation” (1965)

Modern Mobility Southern California Style: Surfboards by Greg Noll, Los Angeles, c. 1960.
Surfboards were invented in Ancient Hawaii, but California became a major center for their development, using new materials like fiberglass as coating.
Polystyrene, polyester and other synthetic materials were also used.
The Surfboard
![Page 7: Consumerism, Pop, and Psychedelia...The Cream: Disraeli Gears, LP cover Psychedelic style appropriated by the advertising industry Psychedelic furniture demonstrating deliberately](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070217/6121d2aff1b213549a34e76e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Skateboard was born in Southern California in the 1940s-1950s. It was a spin-off of the surfboard.
The first manufactured skateboards were ordered by a Los Angeles -based surf shop owned by Bill Richard, and used skate wheels made by the Chicago Roller Skate Company.

The Batmobile was based on one of the numerous ‘concept cars’ proposed by the US car industry in the 1950s. It was based on the “Lincoln Futura” prototype, built by George Barris.
LIncoln Futura never made it to mass production. Can you suggest the reasons why it may have happened?

Richard Hamilton: “What is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?,” collage, UK, 1956
An ambiguous comment on the new American consumer culture - is it admiration or satire or both?
One of the early classics of “pop art”
![Page 30: Consumerism, Pop, and Psychedelia...The Cream: Disraeli Gears, LP cover Psychedelic style appropriated by the advertising industry Psychedelic furniture demonstrating deliberately](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070217/6121d2aff1b213549a34e76e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pop Art and Design
Pop art emerged in the late 1950s, first in Britain and then in the USA. It was a reaction to the post- World War II consumer culture, associated with the USA.
Leading artists: Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein... Term “pop art” coined by the British art critic Lawrence Alloway.
Ambiguous relationship to consumer culture and product design: complex combination of irony and reverence.
Everyday objects became “second nature” for artists. Art became an essentially semiotic activity (artists depicted pre-existing “signs”, rather than painting the nature, etc.
A founding moment - “This is Tomorrow” exhibition, London, 1956 by the Independent Group
![Page 31: Consumerism, Pop, and Psychedelia...The Cream: Disraeli Gears, LP cover Psychedelic style appropriated by the advertising industry Psychedelic furniture demonstrating deliberately](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070217/6121d2aff1b213549a34e76e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Blurring of the Boundary Between Art and Design
- Pop art began to blur the traditional boundary between art and design (art was transformed from unique objects to ’multiples’ by Andy Warhol and others).
- Pop art claimed to have no “message” - it just recycled the ‘surface’ imagery and gadgets of the time (but not so simple!)
- Influenced by commercial graphic design and product design. Soon became itself a powerful influence for design (posters, furniture, textiles...)
Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Can, Painting, 1964
![Page 32: Consumerism, Pop, and Psychedelia...The Cream: Disraeli Gears, LP cover Psychedelic style appropriated by the advertising industry Psychedelic furniture demonstrating deliberately](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070217/6121d2aff1b213549a34e76e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Andy Warhol’s hand-made Brillo Boxes, Pop Art from the 1960s.
Is this art or design? - Obviously it is art inspired by product, package and graphic design.
- Pop art inspired design in return.

Andy Warhol’s multiplication of popular media ‘icons’ and consumer objects can be seen as a comment on mass production based on design.

Art and Design: where is - or was - the difference?
- An artwork is an expression of the creative freedom of an individual, a design object is determined by industrial and commercial concerns
- An artwork is unique, a design object is mass-produced
- An artwork does not have a practical purpose, a design object serves a concrete function
- An artwork has a spiritual "surplus" value, while the design object is more down-to-earth
- An artwork is a goal in itself, while a design object serves a goal

Design and Psychedelia
- Psychedelia = ”relating to or denoting new or altered perceptions or sensory experiences, as through the use of hallucinogenic drugs”.
- Design trend of the late 1960s, influenced by pop, underground, but also by Art Nouveau, Art Deco. Associated with lifestyle awareness, hippie culture, but also became mainstream fashion.
- Prominent in graphic design: record sleeves, concert posters. Also in interior design for discotheques, ‘multimedia light shows’ for discos, concerts. Utopian projects (concept objects). - Seemed new and unprecedented, but began the ”Nostalgia Movement” of the 70s. Became a stylistic formula, revived recently (Austin Powers, etc.)
