The post-war boom brought massive changes in the home; it was out with the old and in with the new. The American diner look with bubblegum or primary colours, neon and kitsch became a design classic. New materials were introduced including PVC, Formica, fibreglass, rubber, melamine, aluminum, vinyl, plastics. Abstract and geometric patterns were popular. Scientific research and the space race also informed design.
