Characterised by a combination of geometric shapes, contrasting hues and intricate details, Art Deco once promised a brighter, more prosperous future for all. And it’s no wonder this iconic 1920s style remains hugely popular a whole century later – particularly when it comes to interior design. Let’s take a closer look at the qualities of Art Deco furniture, and how to incorporate it into your home.
Inspiration
Art Deco was born in defiance of the organic, whimsical styles popularised during the late Victorian era. It emerged during a period that saw rapid technological advancement following the First World War, famed for its glamour and extravagance. This was also a time of intensive expression amongst artists, with Bauhaus, Cubism, Futurism and Surrealism all playing a part in forming this inherently modern style. As people looked ahead, the Art Deco movement served as a welcome distraction from years of conflict, becoming a symbol of both luxury and change.

Shapes and Silhouettes
One of the defining qualities of Art Deco is its use of geometric elements. A unique blend of straight lines, sharp angles and symmetrical patterns to create a sense of order and balance, juxtaposed with curves and swooping shapes for the appearance of fluidity and movement. During the 1920s, this style was evident in all aspects of design. It therefore made its way into people’s homes in many different ways – from architecture to fashion to decorative arts. Today, however, it is most prevalent in furniture.
