Space Age Design
Midcentury Futuristic Atomic Googie Jet Age
This is a new site (live 6/28/18) dedicated to Midcentury Futuristic Design aka Space Age design. Midcentury Futuristic Design is bright, angular, and attention grabbing. It can also be humorous, weird or whimsical. Often called Space Age, Atomic, Googie or even Jet Age. The term Space Age is primarily used here as Midcentury Futuristic Design is a mouthful. It dates to around 1954 - 1964, a very optimistic forward looking age.
There are over 500 images in 18 categories here. Most of the images here are from my personal collection. Much of what isn't mine are in the concept car and roadside sign categories. I felt I needed them to complete this website.
Most items and buildings from this era were not Space Age. In fact if you walk in an antique mall today, less than 0.1% of what you see is Space Age. It was unusual back then but stood out.
If you have images you think belong on this site please email them to me at popcultcha2@gmail.com. I am also interested in any feedback, additional information or comments. All content on this site is free to copy. Thanks for visiting, and please come back to watch this site grow.
