Streamline Moderne emerged in the 1930s as a sleeker evolution of Art Deco. Inspired by aerodynamics, ocean liners, and locomotives, this style emphasized horizontal lines, rounded corners, and the promise of speed. It represented optimism during the Great Depression, suggesting progress and a brighter tomorrow.

Aerodynamics

Sleek curves and horizontal lines reduce drag, whether on locomotives, automobiles, or architecture. Form follows the flow of air.

Ocean Liners

The great ships of the era inspired design everywhere, from their porthole windows to their streamlined funnels and elegant interiors.

Chrome Dreams

Polished metal surfaces reflected the optimism of the machine age. Chrome became synonymous with modernity and progress.
