For over 70 years, the IKEA catalogue was produced in Älmhult, constantly growing in number, scope and distribution. From the 1950s when Ingvar Kamprad wrote most of the texts himself, via the poppy, somewhat radical 1970s and all the way into the scaled-down 2000s – the IKEA catalogue always captured the spirit of the time. The 2021 IKEA catalogue was the very last one printed on paper.

Okay, this is super cool. I love looking at design from decades past.
Not to mention - you get a good sense of what is classic, and what's a fad.

There's a nice torrent like this of all of Playboy from the first issue in the 50s to 2013. It's really interesting to see how what people consider attractive has changed (and more interesting to see what doesn't change). This should be a more popular genre where big lists of things over decades gets compared all at once.
