ART DECO
Have fun scrolling through geometric shapes and animations
Art Deco celebrated modern life. Bold geometry, elegant lines and luxurious materials created a style that felt new, confident and optimistic.
The style emerged in the 1920s. It combined craftsmanship with the excitement of machines, speed, travel and technological progress.
Geometry became decoration. Zigzags, sunbursts, circles and symmetrical patterns appeared on buildings, furniture, posters and everyday objects.
Luxury was part of the language. Gold, chrome, glass, marble and exotic woods gave Art Deco its unmistakable sense of glamour.
Art Deco shaped the modern city. Cinemas, hotels, skyscrapers and department stores turned architecture into spectacular symbols of a new age.
Its influence travelled around the world. From Paris to New York, Miami and Shanghai, Art Deco became an international expression of modernity.
