ZigZag Moderne was not suited to the sober economic situation that followed the Wall Street crash in 1929. A new image was needed to unify the industrial industry and bring it out of economic decline. The streamlined shape took shape (Wolf, 2014). An essential element of the machine age, the style stemmed from the idea that mass production and product quality were not separate entities and the combination of the two could be achieved through design. Based on aerodynamic principles, it symbolized industrial progress and reflected the economic situation by removing all unnecessary ornamentation and instead focusing on streamlined elements (Wolf, 2014). The aerodynamic shape par excellence became that of the teardrop, providing an energy-efficient image of fluidity and movement. Forms of modern transportation such as automobiles, airplanes, trains, buses, and ocean liners, which reflected the growth of speed and travel in the 1930s, influenced the style almost entirely. It was the pinnacle of a technological age that created air travel, the telephone, the radio, spoken pictures, and the skyscraper (Ryan, 2014). While Zigzag celebrated the indulgence of modern life, Streamline Moderne sought to create a better future. Modern transportation was Streamline Moderne's favorite, although the difference between functional and non-functional aerodynamics was not taken into account during the design. This idea was secondary, as the style represented the hope it contained for the future. Whether or not the aerodynamic design affected performance was irrelevant, as the stationary products embodied the same style, as long as they looked like they were traveling into the future. A prime example of this contradiction is the 1934 Chrysler...... middle of paper ......ces of the SS Normandie, the dining rooms alone confirm this (figure 7) (Vignone, 2014).Streamline Moderne was a style that both product designers and architects applied to everything, mobile or stationary. These included cars, trains, movie sets, furniture, fashion designs, household appliances, and various buildings. The culmination of Streamline Moderne was at the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair, where the “World of Tomorrow” showcased automobiles, kitchens, and cities of the future (Fullerton Heritage, 2014). Subsequently the style went out of fashion due to the Second World War. However there was renewed interest in Art Deco design in the 1960s, when the term "Art Deco" was finally established (Wolf, 2014) and used to describe the flamboyant "anything goes" style of the Roaring '20s and the lean trend towards a better future. style of the years '30.
