1970s California

The prompt1970s California, without the smog alert.

Laurel Canyon at dusk, Venice Beach at noon, a Pendleton shirt worn open over nothing at all. Turquoise cooling in the pool light, corduroy going soft at the knee, a muscle car idling somewhere down the boulevard. Nobody called it a look yet. It just was one.

How the look works

The most useful object in this world is a catalogue. Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog ran from 1968 into the seventies as a curated list of tools, books and resources for living self sufficiently: camping equipment, machinery, maps, specialist journals, and methods for building, planting, solar power and recycling, each with a note on why it was worth owning. It is the direct ancestor of the format this page is written in.

The palette came out of the same politics. Manufacturers answered a public interest in the environment with browns, rusts, yellows and greens, so the decade is earth toned because the decade was arguing about the earth. It was not a colour trend arriving on its own.

The materials follow from that: rattan, cane, bamboo, unglazed clay, wool, leather, and textiles hung on walls. Most of it hand made or made to look it. California design from the mid fifties to the mid seventies is the outdoorsy, eccentric, occasionally frankly funky end of American craft, and this is the decade in which it stops being a subculture.

The failure mode is the boutique version. Bright orange and a new macrame hanger bought on the same afternoon reads as a theme. The real rooms were accumulated slowly, largely hand made, and mostly bought to be used.

The Uniform

Denim, sunglasses, rubber soles, and wool. The brands nobody had to explain, then or now.

The brands nobody had to explain then and nobody has to explain now, which is the tell. This was never a look, it was what was available and durable. Buy it plain, buy it once, and let it age rather than distressing it on the way out of the shop.

Questions

What is the 1970s California look actually built on?
Craft and self sufficiency. The Whole Earth Catalog listed tools, books and methods for living independently, and the objects that go with that are hand made, useful and unglamorous: clay, cane, wool, denim and wood.
Why earth tones?
Because of the environmental politics of the decade. Manufacturers responded to public interest in the environment with browns, rusts, yellows and greens, so the palette is an argument before it is a fashion.
What are the materials?
Rattan, cane, bamboo, unglazed clay, wool, leather, denim, and textiles hung on the wall. Most of it hand made or made to look it.
How do you avoid the boutique version?
Accumulate rather than buy a set. These rooms were assembled slowly and mostly for use, so anything bought complete in one afternoon reads as a theme regardless of how correct the objects are.
What is the one object to start with?
A piece of unglazed studio pottery. It carries the decade on a shelf and it is the thing this era actually made best.
