Representing modernism, and one of the most exciting styles of the 20th century, Art Deco style originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style in Europe and the United States during the 1930s. Individually crafted luxury items were created with the intention of creating a sleek and anti-traditional elegance that symbolised wealth and sophistication. As a style, Art Deco works are symmetrical, geometric, streamlined, often simple, and pleasing to the eye. Its easy adaptability suits any interior and still influences design today.
