• Automotive Design & Industrial Modernism
Art Deco profoundly shaped early automotive design, where geometry, streamlining, and sculptural forms defined the new modern aesthetic.
This archive includes select materials from the Bugatti Archive (1910–1939) — featuring factory drawings, brochures, and rare imagery of masterpieces such as the Type 57 Atalante, the visionary Aérolithe, and the legendary Type 57SC Atlantic.
These automobiles, with their flowing lines, riveted seams, and aerodynamic forms, remain among the most iconic expressions of Art Deco and Machine Age design.
Together, these materials form one of the most versatile and cross-disciplinary Art Deco collections available online, ideal for researchers, historians, designers, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the cultural world of the interwar years.
