"Within the last decade, many serious collectors- including major museums and galleries- have begun to regard plastic as one of the most fascinating materials in the world of decorative and industrial design. This lavish pictorial history demonstrates that objects made of plastic have great diversity of form and wide appeal, that they are sculptural, usually colourful, often humorous, but also sleekly sophisticated. They range in style from Edwardian to Art Deco, from Streamlined to Pop and Postmodern." (F1)
