George Kravis Collection at the Smithsonian

Media mogul George Kravis has been collection early-to-mid twentieth century American industrial design for decades now, & his collection is one of the most coveted in the world.

As Coolhunting describes “it was a movement based on endowing basic, domestic objects with a sleek, aerodynamic style that belied an optimistic interpretation of the future”. From radios to lamps, furniture to kitchen gadgets, these incredible products hark back to a time when form was as important as function. To see a small selection of George’s collection check out the ‘Stamps of approval’ exhibition at the Smithsonian Castle, Washington D.C until 29 April 2012.
