in Object Culture

"American Streamlined Design: The World of Tomorrow" focuses on the style's affect on almost every facet of U.S. life from the 1930s to 1950s â€” and its resurgence in contemporary society.

Streamlining was quickly used in furniture, kitchen appliances, office equipment, machinery and recreational supplies. Presto! Everything got curvy.

Renowned designers represented include Norman Bel Geddes, Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss, Kem Weber and Walter Dorwin Teague.

Full exhibit details here - At the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in Decorative Arts, Design and Culture, NYC

Highly likely. Keep in mind that this exhibition based on products designed around the Depression era, when streamlining was first used, from the 1930's to the 1950's. The concepts have now become part of contemporary design language.
