Who would have thought that modern social media platforms like Instagram could bring back so many memories? For Simon Knight, the platform has become a way to express his passion for 80s architecture and interior design. With the account @ the_80s_interior , the British artist recreates settings from the era.

The photos are from a variety of locations, from homes to shopping malls and restaurants, with no occupants. Looking through the collection of images, you can see trends such as glass bricks, combinations of curtains with wallpaper, neon lights and lots of colorful velvet. Not to mention the accessories and devices present, such as radios and recorders, which help to convey an even greater sense of presence and reality.
