Dive deep into mid-century design history with this essential collector's volume: "1950s Plastics Design: Everyday Elegance" (2nd Edition, Revised & Updated with Price Guide) by Holly Wahlberg. Published by Schiffer Publishing, this 112-page softcover remains the premier visual directory for identifying, dating, and valuing historical Eames-era plastic compositions.

The book traces the mid-century transition of experimental postwar plastics—including Lucite, Melamine, Formica, Vinyl, and early Tupperware materials—into classic American consumer products. Richly illustrated with high-quality color photo galleries and archival advertisements, chapters outline 1950s furniture, housewares, radios, light fixtures, clocks, and automotive interior panels.
