Festival of Britain

The festival of Britain was created as a celebration of new British design in the 1850's as a source of hope for the people of Britain who had suffered in the war. It consisted of interior design for homes and  new structural design for the revitalization of Britain. Although the festival was heavily based in London, there was a traveling festival that ventured around britain to showcase the designs of the future.
The designs shown in the festival were heavily based on futuristic and scientific themes (linking with the moon landing and the new scientific breakthroughs of the time), with a lot of designs being based on the atom, particles and orbitals.
The festival was a very successful event but everything that was exhibited at the festival was far to expensive for the average home owner, this meant that the festival was more of a preface of the designs that would be available to the future household of Britain rather than a showcase of goods for the people of the time.
