Anti-design movement

The Anti-design movement emerged in the 1960s as a reaction against the prevailing design norms that prioritized aesthetics and functionality. Advocates sought to challenge conventional beauty and present alternative approaches, emphasizing irony, chaos, and the unconventional in design. This movement often featured unusual materials, forms that resisted practicality, and a focus on social commentary. By disrupting traditional design standards, Anti-design encouraged people to question the purpose of objects and the values embedded in design, paving the way for more diverse and unconventional artistic expressions.
