Garden furniture (plastic)

==History==
The first plastic garden furniture conquered the global market in the 1970s, when a huge vogue for plastic rolled over all branches of industry. Suddenly everything had to be made of plastic - kitchen appliances, toys, everyday objects, tools, dishes, furniture, etc. Clothes were only fashionable if they were made from synthetic fibre.\nThe new indestructible material slowly came to be used in the garden furniture industry, too. Traditional heavy tables and chairs made of iron or pure wood were no longer popular.\nStackable, extremely light, washable and completely weather-resistant chairs, benches, sunbeds and tables of plastic were to be found in all furniture stores in the second half of the 20th century. And, of course, in all possible fashion colours!
==Did You Know That?==
In the early 60s, everyone went crazy for plastic. Suddenly everything in the home and office had to be made from plastic.\nItems made from wood and iron were replaced with plastic ones. This was especially true of garden furniture as plastic is unaffected by long exposure to the elements.
