[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, that is my point. It's been around since the 1950s. Therefore, it is not a fad. [/quote]

Of course it has been around that long, but it's only been [i]fashionable[/i] for ten years or so. No one was making their houses look that way on purpose in the 80s or 90s. [/quote]

Yes, it was popular from the 50s until the early 70s and then was very much out of style for decades. The same thing will happen again.

Kind of like bell bottoms/flared pants. They were big in the 60s and 70s, went away for a long time, came back and are gone again.

Except some things don't stay a trend and won't come back.  furniture/decor was butt ugly in the 80s and no one tries to recreate it or preserve it:

Mcm has it's roots in Art Deco which came from art nouveau--these are beautiful styles.[/quote]

I disagree with several points in the above post.

First, MCM does not have roots in art deco/art nouveau. Early art deco was still quite ornamental and only towards the end became more minimalist. MCM is rooted in Bauhaus. It's funny that you mention this because art deco influenced 80s style much more than it did MCM.

Second, if you pay attention to design, 80s influences are coming back into style now in interior design.
