Wow, i randomly opened the 1960s catalog and the furniture looks just modern... they would perfectly fit in a todays living room.

Either time stood still in the furniture industry, they did timeless designs or the 60s trends are just coming back.

But I didnt expect that.

I'm by no means an interior designer, but my sense is that 60s/70s European design is pretty timeless. Especially if you take out the boldest colors, plastic-sheathed couches, and the like.

My sense is that modern furniture has generally fairly simple lines--and, from what I understand--younger generations tend to favor neutral color tones. While my house is relatively muted, it isn't the greyscale that I see among some younger folks.
