Spanning much of the early 20th century, the Machine Age was a transformative period in design, technology, and society, characterized by an embrace of mass production and industrial aesthetics emphasizing clean lines, geometric shapes, and materials like steel, chrome, and plastic. Influential Machine Age styles included Art Deco, Bauhaus, and Precisionism alongside the parallel artistic movements of Cubism and Futurism.
