| on Kindle: Streamline Moderne (Style Primer Series) |
|||
|
Streamline Moderne sprang from the Great Depression. People
were strapped for cash and manufacturers struggled to hold onto their
market share. Outstanding design appeared to hold the answer: thus industrial
design was born. Futuristically aerodynamic consumer items such as toasters,
sofas, radios, and automobiles sold like hotcakes, and architects quickly
appropriated the new style, Streamline Moderne.
