This is pretty rad. 70 minutes of Haring's 1983 New Year's Eve party. I'm not sure if this is his studio. The downstairs space is completely squiggled-up and looks awesome.

I recommend checking out the rest of this channel also. It's delightful.

I've been watching Pee Wee's Playhouse a lot in the past couple of days because my (almost) 2 year old is mesmerized by it and my wife was out of town for a couple of days and a lot of it fits in here but other aspects don't that much, there's definitely a retro 1950s interpretation to a lot of it.
Also the Mondrian mention above made me think of this which I had completely forgotten about:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n_sG2WNGnA

This thread is great, I can't believe I've only just found it. I was born in 1981 so I've got a lot of half-buried memories of this stuff and I'm sure I had at least one pair of bermuda shorts with this sort of design on them. That Memphis Group furniture picture though... Wow!

I like how BTTF2 anticipated ironic eighties revivalism, even if it got everything other prediction wrong.

Seems like a lot of this design aesthetic carried on into the early 90s.

One whiff of the smell of this hairspray and I'm in 1986 in an instant.

That Ikea ad Wes Brodicus posted is pretty on-point, with the only goof being the handling of the overlaid graphics (the floating exclamation points, etc.) which are far too flat and stable, like something made in Illustrator. The old-school form of those, I think, would be in wobbley hand-drawn animation, jittering from frame to frame.
