A lot of old designs have been renewed by only adding a hint of the new to make them fit in today’s modern world. That goes for the design in the fashion industry, interior, exterior, etc. It is this old design that brings back a piece of history and reminds us of how things used to be. Therefore, today we want to bring back some good oldies.
r/80sdesign is a subreddit dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of art and design from the 1980s. This subreddit was created back in 2015, and so far counts around 75.6k members. They share images of 80s designs that have survived through time or are a reflection of the past.
We compiled a list with some of the designs we liked the most and we think we should bring them back asap. Scroll down to check them out, and let us know in the comments if you agree with us.
