From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atomic Age in design refers to the period roughly corresponding to 1940-1960, when concerns about nuclear war dominated Western society during theCold War. Architecture, industrial design, commercial design (including advertising), interior design, and fine arts were all influenced by the themes of atomic science, as well as the Space Age, which coincided with that period. Atomic Age design became popular and instantly recognizable, with a use of atomic motifs and space age symbols. Retro-futurism is a current resurgence of interest in Atomic Age design.
