Origins

Machine Age, also known as the Industrial style, emerged during the early 20th century (approximately 1910-1940). This visual style was influenced by the rapid advancements in technology and the rise of industrialization. It was characterized by an emphasis on geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and a celebration of industrial materials such as steel, glass, and concrete.
