Streamlined Design

American Streamlined Design – The World of Tomorrow at The Wolfsonian FIU is an exhibition that focuses on a design era that developed in the 1930s and ’40s, characterized by curving forms, and smooth, clean silhouettes. The style, which suggested speed and glamour invaded American design in the post-Depression years. It was widely applied in new forms of architecture, interior decoration and everyday household goods for the home and office. American Streamlined Design: The World of Tomorrow was organized by The Liliane and David M. Stewart Program for Modern Design, Montreal and on view at The Wolfsonian–Florida International through May 17, 2009
