First born in Paris, ‘neath an Art Deco light,
A portfolio of treasures, bold and bright,
Decoration Moderne in vibrant hues—
A vision of spaces, refined and new.
Each room a marvel of modern delight,
From bedrooms to studies, in sleek lines and light.
Living rooms lavish, with terraces fair,
Artist studios brimming with flair.
Behold the treasures—tables and chairs,
With elegance crafted, designed with care.
Beds that invite, and bookcases grand,
Desks for the dreamer, both sturdy and planned.
The walls tell stories in patterns and shades,
Floors that echo where footsteps cascade.
Lighting that dazzles, accessories rare,
Each element chosen with vision and flair.
Designers’ names line the pages with pride,
In captions that honor the hands that abide.
The old Introduction, now brought to the new,
With notes for the seeker of Art Deco’s view.
Here is a trove for the architect’s soul,
For designers and students who yearn for the whole
Of Art Deco’s past, in color and grace—
An ode to modernity, bold in its place.
