'''Streamline Moderne''' is an international style of [[Art Deco]] architecture and design that emerged in the 1930s. Inspired by [[Aerodynamics|aerodynamic]] design, it emphasized curving forms, long horizontal lines, and sometimes nautical elements. In industrial design, it was used in railroad locomotives, telephones, buses, appliances, and other devices to give the impression of sleekness and modernity.<ref>{{cite news |title=A true example of Streamline Moderne |url= http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120906/environment/A-true-example-of-Streamline-Moderne.435799 |date=6 September 2012 |work=Times of Malta |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160401124136/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120906/environment/A-true-example-of-Streamline-Moderne.435799 |archive-date=1 April 2016}}</ref>

In France, it was called the ''style paquebot'', or "ocean liner style", and was influenced by the design of the luxury ocean liner [[SS Normandie|SS ''Normandie'']], launched in 1932.
