Art Deco Design (Page 3)

Art Deco Design was a revolutionary movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It was characterized by bold geometric forms, bright colours, and highly stylized decoration, symbolising modernity and luxury.

The movement influenced various fields, such as architecture, interior design, fashion, and art. Art Deco buildings were characterized by their sleek lines, symmetry, and use of new materials such as concrete and steel. The interiors were equally impressive, with luxurious materials such as marble, chrome, and glass used extensively. Art Deco fashion was also popular with its bold patterns and shapes.

The movement declined in popularity during World War II, but its influence can still be seen today in various design forms. Overall, Art Deco represented a break from traditional design styles and embraced modernity with its boldness and luxury.

Its members included Pierre Chareau, Raymond Templier, Dominique (André Domin and Marcel Genevriere), and Pierre Legrain. In 1926 and 1927, they showed their work as the Groupe des Cinq at Galerie Barbazanges, Paris. The gallery, at 109 rue du Faubourg St. Honoré, was designed by André Lurcat. The association is not to be confused with Les Cinq.Read More →
