The six story brick and brownstone Moderne Hotel features Art Deco architecture and Pop Art pieces. The lobby’s décor - velvet curtains, dark-wood panels, celery-green chairs and a chrome gilded front desk makes the Moderne a unique boutique hotel right in the center of bustling Midtown Manhattan. It is steps from Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, all Broadway Theaters, Times Square and Central Park. It has a welcoming atmosphere that emphasizes friendly and hospitable service.
Near the hipped roof house, a small collection of "moderne" homes was built. All classic 1930s, speed lines, white stucco, curved metal framed windows with small panes, flat roofs and rounded edges. I love them! All the properties are now surrounded by more prosaic dwellings built in the 1960s and 1970s, but still they stand proud in their glory.
This beautiful piece of history is a Revere 16mm Model 48 silent movie projector from the early 1950's. I saw it in an antique and vintage store. 16mm films were ones we used to watch in school back in the old days, pre-VCR. One of the things I love about old film gear is the way it was made, heavy and solid but also sleek and cool. Much of this look comes from the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne industrial design movement from the 1930's resulting from era of speed in transportation. Today we call it retro but you can see its roots clearly in the "technofuturistic curvedness" of Apple industrial design.
