The Fifties 231 The Decades Collection The fifties was the first of the 'modern' decades. Victorious in war, Americans reveled in a new-found sense of peace, prosperity and optimism. The building boom of the fifties encouraged designers to experiment with the 'contemporary look' which included smaller scale homes, organic forms and natural finishes and materials. Textiles took on a textural quality, with highlights of synthetic yarns giving richness to the 'plain' modern earth toned fabrics. The Fifties is a fabric inspired by the first modern textiles of the 20th century. Available in 6 earth tone colorways, the fabric's combination of bouclé and shiny yarns creates a classic modern texture that will be appropriate for upholstery or vertical surfaces in any interior installation.
