“The generation which came to the post-war design scene welcomed a growing but not partly-forgotten range of items and ideas. The sitting room of our unsophisticated pasts became a formal “living area” and we reduced the kitchen of our childhood to a mere legend on a plan, store/prepare/cook/serve. The breakfast nook was forgotten. It had become the “informal eating” area adjacent to the outdoor entertainment area. There were the L-Shaped rooms where each wall was a different primary colour. There were pressed straw ceilings and washing machines” (NGV Featherston Chairs)
