Design History

Our Art Deco collection is inspired by the modern furniture designs that first appeared in France following World War I and continued on through the 1940s. The Art Deco style is characterized by streamlined, Machine Age forms and images with rich colors, lavish ornamentation, and bold geometric patterns. Its distinctive symmetry and rectilinear design style marked a departure from the organic and curvilinear style of the Art Nouveau period which preceded it. Throughout this era, the Art Deco style evoked a sense of luxury and glamour, and reflected the rapid pace of technological progress that occurred during the industrialization of the early to mid-20th century.
