"When we're talking about Art Deco, generally we're thinking of the style and aesthetic most popular during the 1920s and '30s. Often defined by geometric patterns and motifs, bold jewel tones, and rich material palettes, the interior design style is opulent and decadent."
"These days, we probably wouldn't do a whole authentic Art Deco interior. But we like to use bits and pieces, which can be very timeless, and use them in a contemporary setting."
"Historically, Art Deco, which is short for arts décoratifs, started in France in the early 1900s. But it really flourished in America in the '20s and '30s. Generally categorized as the style of art, interiors, architecture, and product design popular in the era between the First and Second World Wars."
Art Deco emerged in France in the early 1900s and became the defining style of 1920s and 1930s America. The style is characterized by geometric patterns, motifs, bold jewel tones, and rich material palettes, creating opulent and decadent interiors. Named during the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, Art Deco was popular between the First and Second World Wars. Modern designers rarely recreate authentic Art Deco interiors but instead incorporate selective elements into contemporary settings. The style features streamlined aesthetics composed of simple lines and continues to influence interior design today.
