Mad Men 1985-1996

Mad Men 1985-1996. If DonDraper had a home office in the late 80s to mid 90s, this would be it.

 

He’d use QuarkXpress on an Apple Powerbook to review his ads. He’d use a Braun Dieter Rams calculator.

The desk setup would have to be swanky like the George Nelson Swag, Tolomeo Lamp, and Eames Aluminum Group Softpad Task Chair. His camera would be a Leica and he’d wear Swiss timepieces like a Speedmaster Pro or GMTMaster.

 

With the exception of the Mac Powerbook, these are all vintage, iconic designs. Some as old as 60 years old.
