The Art Deco (also Streamlined Moderne) style of radios from the 30's-50's was
usually made out of a plastic called BAKELITE. Today these are highly sought
after. I have a reproduction right here at work. These usually have a lot of
streamlined curves to them. If you want to build one, I would recommend the
use of curved bricks with accents in rarer colors (green, orange, pink, tan,
etc.).
