Mirror80 wraps up our week-long focus on the ’80s office by spotlighting red accents, from chairs to desk lamps. Let’s start with a still from the 1987 film Campus Man, in which a college student (John Dye) attempts to raise much-needed tuition money by featuring athletic male students in a campus calendar. In this scene he disappoints businesswoman Katherine Van Buren (Morgan Fairchild), but on the bright side, his office has never looked better! A spherical floor lamp, red desk trim and a bright office chair unify the space:

Before you peruse the rest of this post, do yourself a favor and hit “play” to experience Valentine’s Day by ABC. This ’80s dance track from British pop band ABC has all of the traits of an ABC hit: dramatic instrumentation, dramatic vocals, dramatic lyrics, a dramatic album cover…and an inexplicable “glam and glitz” quality. Plus, this one busts out an intense finale and is an all-around great soundtrack for your Valentine’s mood, whatever it may be…”When the postman don’t call on Valentine’s Day…”

Shortly before Mirror 80 was born, I began a voracious search for ’80s fashion and interior design resources on the internet. I was soon delighted to find an extensive collection of ’80s art and design items at The 80’s Gallery, Katie Cobler and Ken McGavin’s online gallery featuring jewelry, lighting, original artwork and other amazing collectibles, from sculpture to pottery.

Shiny plastic, bright ceramics, grids, dots and diagonals… What fun it was to be a kid in the ’80s! I remember perpetually shopping at a store called It’s a Small World, hunting for the most colorful pens, stickers and toys I could find. And no color was spared–from pastels to hot candy hues, ’80s trinkets looked good enough to eat.

After last week’s post on the Memphis-Milano movement (aka Memphis Group), collector Dennis Zanone posted a link to the Flickr photos of his amazing Memphis pieces. In a display nothing short of museum quality, Zanone has showcased the best of Memphis-Milano design in a space that seems tailor-made to spotlight the features of the movement (note the flooring–pale wood, blue carpet and black and white checks, the perfect compliments to the bold colors and standout geometry of the furniture and objects).
