1925 - A Pivotal Year in Design

1925 – Design Year

In 1925, several significant design events took place. One of the most notable was the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris. This event showcased the latest in modern design and set the tone for the Art Deco movement that would dominate the 1920s and 1930s. Another important event was the launch of the Bauhaus school in Germany, which revolutionised design education and emphasised a functionalist approach to design. In architecture, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye was completed, showcasing his “Five Points of Architecture” and becoming an iconic example of modernist design.

The emergence of Art Deco also influenced fashion, with designers such as Coco Chanel incorporating its geometric shapes and bold colours into their designs. Overall, 1925 was a pivotal year for design, setting the stage for many trends that would define the rest of the decade and beyond.
