sleek lines



something about this streamlined 1937–ish airflow fan by robert heller is simply spectacular.

[the super-whoosh aesthetic from the 1930s and 1940s can be seen in new york, beginning march 16, "american streamlined design: the world of tomorrow" at the
bard graduate center for studies in the decorative arts, design and culture. recall america's golden age of industrial design? the show originated in paris and runs through june 11 2006, view the super lustrous by norman bel geddes, henry dreyfuss, raymond loewy and walter dorwin teague who inspire designers around the world today.]
ok can't resist, heres a couple more...... besides we are infact in toronto, so lets share with who can't afford to be there, shall we?

Kem Weber Lounge Chair. Designed 1934. um hello? who's not designing like this today?

Frederick H. Rhead Two Fiestaware Juice Pitchers. Designed c. 1936. Glazed + crazy cool!

Designer Unknown. Sterling Streamline Iron Designed c. 1930-40. i love that the designer of this one is 'unknown', the iron itself is so provocative.

Harold L. Van Doren John Gordon. Rideout Skippy-Racer Scooter. Designed c. 1933. would this be pre-vespa, no?
