This text explores the role of colour, allied to form and materials, in distinguishing the furniture, lighting, textiles and wallpaper designs that were a product of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s - creative and innovative years. One important designer whose career spanned this period is the Italian Ettore Sottsass. His radical design philosophies contributed to the emergence of the "anti-design" experimentation of the 1960s and early 1970s and to the formation in 1981 of the Milan-based design collective known as Memphis. What the 1960s and 1980s had in common was colour.
