Retro may be cool, but why are we now in the middle of a love affair with objects and designs from the mid-20th century? What unique qualities do they share that make them so special now? Using one of the most spectacular displays of retro objects ever assembled, and covering all the bases - furniture, fashion, ceramics, technology, metal, graphics, plastic and glass - 20th-century expert Adrian Franklin provides the answers.
