Functional, industrial materials entered the home in post-war Europe. As this lamp evidences, so did industrial design. This perforated teak lampshade was produced by Luxus Vittsjö in the 1950s. Its design is simple — a wooden shade with perforations to refract the light obscures a bare, hanging bulb. The design, which would be at home lighting a factory floor, is warmed by the traditional teak exterior. Was the home becoming a site of production too?

二战后的欧洲，具有功能性的工业材料开始进入民众的家中。正如这盏灯具所示，工业设计领域确实出现了如此的变革。这款带小孔的柚木灯罩是由卢克斯·维茨约在20世纪50年代生产的。它的设计外观非常简洁，灯罩整体为柚木所制，灯光可以透过表面的小孔反射出来，避免了灯泡被直接裸露在外。这一家用照明产品其经典的柚木材料，不禁令人将木材的温暖与家的温度联系了起来。家，是否也随之变成了一处生产的场域？

12. Robert Welch Candle Holder

Scandinavian producers may have led the way with the design and manufacture of stainless steel homeware. However, designers such as Robert Welch spread the style outside of Northern Europe. This triple candle holder in stainless steel with rosewood feet was a classic by Welch and became one of his most popular products produced by Old Hall in the 1960s. Welch, and his Scandinavian influences, defined the British ‘contemporary’ style.

斯堪的纳维亚地区的生产者们也许已经引领了不锈钢家居用品的设计和制造。然而，设计师如罗伯特·威尔士却在北欧以外的地区传播了这种风格。这款不锈钢配紫檀木脚的三层烛台便是威尔士的经典之作，并成为了其为老霍酒店在20世纪60年代设计的最受欢迎的产品之一。威尔士和他的斯堪的纳维亚风潮定义了英国的“当代”风格。
