Lurelle Guild was an industrial designer whose work melded modern materials and ideas with historical references. With its simple finial, minimal banding, and exposed bolts, this coffee maker is reminiscent of both Early American design and works of the American Arts and Crafts movement. The ovoid form, however, gives the object a streamlined look; the geometric handle appears to be pushing the body forward. Streamlining was a hallmark of many 1930s industrial designs.
