• Art deco , or deco, is an eclectic artistic and design style that began in Paris

in the 1920s and flourished internationally throughout the 1930s, into the

World War II era.

• The style influenced all areas of design, including architecture and interior

design, industrial design, fashion and jewelry, as well as the visual arts such

as painting, graphic arts and film.

• The term "art deco" was first used widely in 1926, after an exhibition in Paris,

sub-titled Art Deco, celebrating the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern

Decorative and Industrial Arts that was the culmination of style moderne in

Paris.

• At its best, art deco represented elegance, glamour, functionality and

modernity. Art deco was purely decorative.

• Art deco's linear symmetry was a distinct departure from the flowing

asymmetrical organic curves of its predecessor style art nouveau;

• It embraced influences from many different styles of the early twentieth

century-

including neoclassical, constructivism, cubism, modernism and futurism.

• The structure of Art Deco is based on mathematical geometric shapes.

• It was widely considered to be an eclectic form of elegant and

stylish modernism, being influenced by a variety of sources.

• Other popular themes of Art Deco were trapezoidal, zigzagged, geometric,

and jumbled shapes.

• Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminium, stainless

steel, lacquer, Bakelite, Chrome and inlaid wood.

• The use of stepped forms and geometric curves, chevron patterns,

ziggurat-shapes, fountains, and the sunburst motif are typical of Art

Deco.

• Some of these motifs were ubiquitous – for example, sunburst motifs were

used in such varied contexts as women's shoes, radiator grilles, radio and

clock faces, the auditorium of the Radio City Music Hall, and the spire of

the Chrysler Building.

• The characteristics of art deco furniture are sleek,

smooth, streamlined lines, geometrical patterns, and

experimental use of industrial materials such as metals,

plastics, and glass. Art deco furniture is modern and

functional.

• Art deco design is recognizable because of three main

things: distinct geometric shapes, intense, bright colors

that stand out, and a decorative look.

AR T D E C O F U R N I T U R E

• Art Deco is characterized by a linear, hard edge or angular composition, often

with a vertical emphasis, and highlighted with stylized decoration".

• Also, Art Deco, while being decorative, is very simple, in that it doesn't have

any complicated shapes.

• The Art Deco movement is also characterized by clean lines, streamlining, and

symmetry.

• Art Deco works exhibit abstraction, distortion, & simplification, particularly

geometric shapes & highly intense colors.
