Space Age era: The period commonly referred to as the "Space Age" took place in four years, the period between 1968-1972. It found it's origin with the preparation and the actual landing on the moon in 1969. Round shapes like the astronaut's helmet gave inspiration to designers everywhere. Who doesn't remember the Videosphere, Weltron or Panapet? Space Age design ruled the world during the following years. Living through these fantastic years between 1968 and 1972 felt like a gold rush. But the oil crisis of 1973 closed the doors of the Space Age party. The period when the world turned to plastic for it's every day needs left us with mind dazzling and free spirited creations from designers like Verner Panton, Olivier Mourgue, Joe Colombo, Eero Saarinen, Eero Aarnio and many more. Critics now look back to this period and recognize it was one of the most important periods of 20th century design.
