How do we bring back this aesthetic?
Trained as an architect in Vienna and Berlin, Paul T. Frankl immigrated to New York in 1914 and established his own gallery. There he began to design interiors and champion the skyscraper as a source of a uniquely American modernist vision. The impetus behind the Skyscraper Cabinet, however, was distinctly rural. Frankl spent the summer of 1925 in Woodstock, New York, sketching ideas for new furniture designs and renovating his cabin. In an effort to organize his books, he fitted boards together to create a cabinet with “a rather large, bulky lower section and a slender, shallow upper part going straight to the ceiling. It had a new look; the neighbors came and said, ‘It looks just like the new skyscrapers.’” From then on, Frankl experimented with spare, geometric furniture that mimicked the setback contours of New York skyscrapers. By 1926 these pieces were touted in Good Furniture magazine as the “sky-scraper type of furniture, which is as American and as New Yorkish as Fifth Avenue itself.” The Art Institute’s monumental cabinet epitomizes Frankl’s designs. Its geometric form rests on a sharply molded base and consists of a bottom cabinet section surmounted by a series of compartments and shelves arranged in a pyramidlike fashion. Smooth, unadorned surfaces exemplify the tenets of modernist design. Gift of the Antiquarian Society through Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Hunter III and Mr. and Mrs. Morris S. Weeden

I'm obsessed with this 1947 art deco lake house in Baltimore, Maryland. Next #Fallout76 house build inspo.
Cover in the lower third depicts an art moderne home in a wooded setting. Rays of light emanate from behind it. Looming over the home set against a lime green sky is an apparition of a floating, helmeted god-like figure (Mercury, maybe?) with electric zig-zags around his head and with hands placed over the house as if protecting or controlling it. A bright red band of color at the top runs horizontally with a gradient over the green sky.

Meant to accompany a series of tables that Walter von Nessen created around 1930, this lamp illustrates America’s shift to a streamlined modern aesthetic during the 1930s. Von Nessen championed the use of metal as an appropriate material to capture the look and spirit of the modern age.
