"California Design -- The furniture, jewelry, recreational objects, ceramics, fabric arts, and other designs that emerged from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s California would come to identify its outdoorsy, eccentric, sometimes entirely funky persona. And the best of these were exhibited, sometimes idolized, through a series of popular shows at the Pasadena Art Museum.
The first six exhibitions of California Design were held annually at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955-1960, funded by grants from the County of Los Angeles. The shows featured contemporary design of home furnishings, accessories, and equipment from Southern California designers, manufacturers, and retailers. Two exhibitions with similar themes were organized by other California museums during the same period: "California Designed" (1955) was produced jointly by the Long Beach Municipal Art Museum and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco, and "Contemporary California Designers," was held at the Oakland Exposition Building in 1955.
