Henry Dreyfuss Art Deco Thermos No 549 Streamline in Earth RedIt's been on my desk for 5 years, but I'm moving and it needs to find a new home.From the Met: Henry Dreyfuss was an American industrial designer known for his streamlined designs for telephones, vacuum cleaners, typewriters, and other household items. He also designed the Mercury train for the New York Central Railroad. This insulated thermos cafe is emblematic of his designs. Crafted of aluminum, the horizontal banding and the handle, which mimics the profile of the Mercury locomotive, both give a sense of modern style to a utilitarian object.
