Streamline Moderne

Origins

Streamline Moderne, also known as Art Moderne, emerged in the 1930s and reached its peak in the 1940s. It is characterized by sleek, aerodynamic lines, smooth curves, and a sense of motion. This style was popularized by its association with the transportation industry, specifically automobiles, trains, and ocean liners. It featured materials such as glass, stainless steel, and concrete, giving it a futuristic and industrial aesthetic.
