A little History about the machine age: The Machine Age can be mostly associated with the early 20th century – at a time just between the first and second world wars. The mass production of steel and metal for automobiles or skyscrapers was in full swing. Architecture, film, radio, and art were all taken to new and extreme levels. Basic forms for everyday home products had already been developed, but with the Machine Age, designers were able to experiment and invent new looks for products such as appliances, furniture, and electronics. What they came up with was nothing like anyone had seen before and certainly did not represent the previous Victorian period of style. Homes were soon filled with futuristic, streamlined items which led into the Art Deco style.
