20th Century

The 20th century period can be characterized by industrial as well as technological advancements - the invention of the airplane, the automobile, and the Internet. This ushered in a new way of living, which inspired the designers of the 20th century. Industrially influenced design became a new culture in the 1920s, also known as the Machine Age. 

While the second World War led to people embracing hand-crafted as well as natural items, 20th-century art & designs were fueled by mass-produced materials. Paving the way for today’s age of design, the later years of the 20th century saw experiments in various forms such as Postmodernism in the art world, the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) revolution, and more.
