Opening Soon!
Coming soon – The Neon80s Shop
The 80s were great times; they were the best of times. Now, the look, the style, the image – with colour, style, panache, and more than a little fun.
Our newly updated shop is due soon; we’re busy restocking. Not authentic reproductions, not cheap copies, but the real thing. Fashion, art, music, items from the decade that is on its way back. The 80s.
We're global!
From London to Miami
We source our items from across the globe, from trendy London to fashionable Miami, we bring you the best of the 80s. But whilst we source the best products from around the world, we also ship globally.

The 80s / entry 01
“A bookcase that has not been decorated. A bookcase that has been contradicted.”
Where the shapes came from, why a group of Italians put kitchen laminate on furniture priced like art, and what else was happening in a decade that managed to be frightening and optimistic at the same time.
Context
A decade in six dates
Surface, not picture
The pattern book
Sottsass drew laminates before he drew furniture. Bacterio, the first of these, is the pattern on the ground of every page here.
