Art Deco

Art Deco Furniture

Art Deco is a style of art and design that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. It began after an art exhibition in Paris in 1925 and then spread throughout the world. This style was used in a variety of ways, including architecture, fashion, and art. The primary focus of the Art Deco style was to celebrate modern living and emphasize elements of luxury and sophistication.

Some characteristics that define Art Deco furniture pieces include:

• Highly polished and light-reflecting surfaces.
• Geometric shapes, such as chevrons or zigzags.
• Vertical lines.
• Streamlined surfaces.
• Bold colours and high contrast.

To make these furniture pieces, modern materials such as chrome, Bakelite, aluminum, and plate glass were often used. Occasionally, some pieces would also feature expensive materials such as mahogany, ivory, and dark lacquered surfaces.
