This poster has many Post Modern elements. The colour combination is very 1980s, and the black and white image has been reduced to its basic elements. The picture is very three dimensional and seems to reach out from the page. The comic book dots in the background and the expressive lines show how designers of the time rejected the design rules from the previous period. The policy of "form follows function" has been ignored here, delivering an artwork that has movement and energy. The tilted axis is reminiscent of Constructivists, and this designer has obviously been inspired by their work.

This unusual piece of furniture reflects the design period in which it was made. The bright saturated colours used, organic curves and asymmetry are typical, as is the way each element is in a different hue and texture, giving a collaged effect. This designer belonged to an artistic group that challenged the status quo with their unconventional approach to design, and this is evident in this piece.
This design style is engaging in its use of appropriated images and the playful way they are put together. I like this style because it is fun, informal and expressive, with colour, energy and humour keeping it interesting.
