Couple watching their child swim through their window, as it appears their home is underwater. Couple watching tv together. Women working out alongside a work out video playing on her television.

Charles Schridde’s Motorola Advertisement
The Future of Homes Motorola

Motorola partnered with illustrator and painter Charles Schridde in 1961 to imagine the future of dream homes and how they coincide with Motorolas new line of “futuristic” tech.

These illustrations are architecturally stunning, and also romantic. Almost every image showcases a family posing lovingly as they indulge in black and white scenes. These images emulate retro futurism and 1960s palm springs architecture, two of my favorite design styles.
