If you're not at all familiar with the Aerodynamic/streamlined style of the 1950's think of a tear drop. At one end you have a round bulging shape which then tapers down as you get towards the other end. If you take a look at a lot of the industrial design of the decade you'll notice a lot of this tear drop shape in the design of many cars and especially trains. This shape is supposed to allow for superior aerodynamics of the that time. My second assignment in history class was to design a household appliance that would mimic this style of design. I've chosen a toaster-pretty simple i know, but with a toaster having traditionally a solid single shaped body I thought of it as an opportunity to redesign something you would normally glance over into something a bit more aesthetically unique. Below are some 3D renderings of a toaster of this style as well as some 2D ideation sketches.
