I would have loved to be in the designers meetings for all of these styles. Who were they channeling or copying like in this unique for the day style? What were they thinking? Then again, all days have their styles...for their 15 minutes or so.
Should we design for rockets? Olds Rocket 88 comes to mind. Bombs that will incinerate us but be a good form for a radio? Hey GE did that with the Atomic knob and we all lived and collect them now. Maybe just a multi-angular design that is not rectangular and owes its design to modern art of the day.
All if these are the original "mid-century", "atomic", "Eames", etc. that we all wince at when listed.
What sent them down this trail?
