8. The decorative arts and daily life

In the decorative arts field the Futurist aesthetic found a wide range of different applications. Ceramics figured significantly, both due to the wide range of possibilities that the material presented, and the opportunity it offered to introduce intentionally provocative, innovative forms into daily life.
Other fields explored by Futurist creativity include fashion and advertising graphics.
