First Things First Manifesto (1964) Ken Garland

Written in 1963 and published in 1964 by Ken Garland along with 20 other designers, photographers and students, the manifesto was a reaction to the staunch society of 1960s Britain and called for a return to a humanist aspect of design. It lashed out against the fast-paced and often trivial productions of mainstream advertising, calling them trivial and time-consuming. It's solution was to focus efforts of design on education and public service tasks that promoted the betterment of society.

The influence of the manifesto was quick to reach a wide audience and was picked up by The Guardian, which led to a TV appearance by Garland on a BBC news program and its subsequent publication in a variety of journals, magazines and newspapers. It was revisited and republished by a group of new authors in the year 2000 and labeled as the First Things First Manifesto 2000.

Furniture for Schools Design 1956 The post-war era saw a boom in school building, new towns, new educational approaches, the baby boomer generation, and a bright modern future heralded by the Festival of Britain. The Design magazines, edited by Gordon Russell, with art direction from a young Ken Garland, are the perfect window into these times. #design #councilofindustrialdesign #schoolsoftomorrow #kengarland #gordonrussell #furniture #education

Montage. Ken Garland & Galt Toys. Packaging from the design legend, Ken Garland, who designed for Galt in the late 60s and 70s. There's an exhibition of Galt & Abbatt Toys, and a talk from Jane Audas, on Sunday 18th September at Greenside School, at 1pm. Erno Goldfinger designed the school, so at least three reasons for going. Tickets to the talk are free, just email me to reserve one. @galttoys #kengarland #galttoys #montage #midcenturymodern #ernogoldfinger @janeaudas
