It doesn’t matter a jot whether a house is built in Hobart or Darwin, or what its landscape and climate is like, it uses all the same mix of elements. While that may sound fun, this is deadly serious. Here you find all manner of fakery, with buildings that aim to evoke a Hamptons cottage or a Tuscan villa, occasionally mixing everything up to create a hybrid. It’s certainly alive and kicking in the housing developments that ring our towns and cities. This is familiar territory for Australians, of course, happy to buy banana-related items from the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour or knitwear from a shop deep inside the Big Merino in Goulburn. Ducks, they wrote, had their place and they gave examples such as a hot dog stand shaped like a hot dog. The 1972 book ‘Learning from Las Vegas’ by architects Venturi, Scott Brown, and Izenour proposed the idea of ducks and decorated sheds, where a decorated shed was a building that needed signs to tell you what it did, and a duck was a building whose shape made it clear what it did. It’s a long way from designer Dieter Rams and his ‘less but better’ philosophy that’s still considered a benchmark for contemporary design but it urges us to lighten up and be silly. Like Michael Graves’s 9093 kettle of 1985 with its plastic whistling bird on the spout, or Stefano Giovannoni’s Magic Bunny toothpick holder, which involves pulling a plastic rabbit from a top hat to access the toothpicks. The Italian company that commissioned it, Alessi, has made a business out of designers injecting a shot of fun into ordinary items. That’s part of its charm and we’re invited to be in on the joke. This failure makes it the perfect piece of kitsch, except that it was designed to be absurd. And a gold-plated version doesn’t work at all given that the citrus juice erodes the gilding. While it looks credible, with the ridged juicer set high on three spidery legs, it doesn’t actually work very well. Like designer Philippe Starck’s citrus squeezer of 1990, the Juicy Salif. We’re wise to such fakery and tolerate it, understanding the real thing would be more expensive. Like a cheap plastic statue pretending to be bronze, or those fake carbon fibre panels used in cars. It’s often about something pretending to be something else. It appears to be related to a German word of the 19 th century for ‘smear’ but by the 20 th century it was used for anything that was seen as poor taste. And yet maybe kitsch has its place in the design world. Its flipside is kitsch, which is usually overly fussy.
