Art Deco

The Art Deco style, originating in France as “style moderne” in the early 20th century, gained popularity in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Characterised by unique patterns, rich colours, and luxurious detailing, Art Deco became a symbol of industrial elegance, blending handmade luxury items with the modernity of mass-produced products. With clear influences from cubism, modernism, constructivism, and futurism, Art Deco represented structure and symmetry in a decadent world. Additionally, it embraced multiculturalism, drawing inspiration from African tribal designs, Parisian industrialism, Greco-Roman sculpture, and the geometrical shapes of Ancient Egypt.
