Yesterday's Tomorrow

ART SUITE YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW

DESIGN CORBAN WARRINGTON & DANIEL AFONSO | ICEHOTEL 35 | AVAILABLE DECEMBER 2024 - APRIL 2025

Yesterday's Tomorrow explores how our futures might have appeared, had we persisted in designing the world with the aestetics and principles of the Art Deco and Streamline Modern movements. These movements emerged during the machine age, blending the industrial practicality with elegance to create a sleek, sophisticated and efficient design aesthetic. 

Emphasizing smooth curved lines and horizontal symmetry, they aimed for an aerodynamic and minimalist appearance in everything from cars and trains to buildings and home appliances.

Through this lens, Yesterday's Tomorrow offers a glimpse into what our world could look like if we had continued to embrace and apply the principles.
