Update: Coincidentally the Guardian ran this article recently all about Futuro and “the ideal home that wasn’t”

Welcome to this month’s look back at Design magazine from January 1969.

Some lovely ads this month, full of late 60s, early 70s, colour; including a surprisingly subtle advert from Pirelli…

Really like the colour combination in the Lucas furniture advert and the saucer inspired designs for pod-like architecture and living spaces.

Would really like this kitchen!

Finally an article on Britain’s first sports-wagon caught my eye; cast yours over the wonder that is the Reliant Scimitar GTE.
