Bright Tomorrows Await

Nello Williams has always been fascinated with the space-age design of the ’50s and 60s. “From chrome trim to fins on cars and rockets, these artists really thought they were creating what the future was going to look like,” he says. “It was a positive outlook, but it was pretty killer to design, too.” Nello tries to incorporate this esthetic into his own work and has even branded some of his retro Keepsake Ornaments with the “Nellco” label.
