Art Deco - Post Modern - Circa 1920-1940
Even though Art Deco expressions appeared before the 1920´s
it was at the 1925 international exhibition in Paris that
this movement was officially presented. Inspired by Cubism
the intensive use of geometric forms made Art Deco designs
be far apart from the Art Nouveau.
The Art Deco period set the standard for the modern concept
of Industrial Design which reaches up to our days. This new
movement gave new ideas for interior design, leaving behind
the reinterpretation of period designs.
Elegant proportions, exquisite detailing and ornament, the
use of pure lines combining both concave and convex forms,
superior craftsmanship and the use of exotic materials are
common characteristics of this magnificent period in the development
of art and design.
