Art Deco Revival – Product Highlights
March 8th, 2010Did you know that Art Deco was originally called Style Moderne? The Art Deco movement began in Paris in 1925, during the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs. Characterized by creative uses of materials such as steel, bronze, and glass, the highly stylized details are what help us identify Art Deco. Art Deco’s design structure is based on geometric shapes; circles, semi-circles, and geometric designs converged with glass and metal to form this singular design movement.
