This was a style mostly popular in architecture around the mid-1960s and ironically was inspired by both the geometric shapes found in modern movements and the Radical design ideals. It went completely against the excesses consumerism of Pop Design and focused on a more utilitarian design solution.
It eventually moved from architecture to interior design where designers were using industrial materials such as rubber flooring, clip-on lighting and galvanized zinc as shelving. This created a factory like interior and were usually coloured in primary colours as a nod to De Stijl.
Some examples of this style are:
