I’ve always been obsessed with the 80s and 90s, not just the music but the whole vibe.

The TV themes, the jingles, and all the random stuff you would hear on the radio. It just felt different and cosy.

Over time I realised I did not just miss the songs, I missed the feeling of that era.

So I ended up building a retro style radio station to try and bring that back.

If anyone here is into that kind of nostalgia, you can grab the app and start listening here:

Would honestly love to know, what is one thing you instantly remember from the 80s or 90s?

Happy to answer any questions too

And other countries not associated with post-modern furniture!

So I've just found out that G-plan (famed for the Blofeld chair (James Bond) and fresco table (mad men)) tried to move with the times and go postmodern in the 1980s.

I'm looking for other "traditional" or at least unexpected furniture makers like g-plan in the UK doing their take on post-modernism.

I don't generally associate the UK with post-modernism. Let me know what you have got!

Christie Lodge in Avon, CO. One of the neatest hotels I’ve stayed in. The rooms were standard but it felt like staying inside a mall whenever you stepped out.

I scanned all 101 stickers. They are slightly fluorescent, and my scanner couldn't pick it up, so the colors are a bit off.
