A brief history of art deco
Characterised by geometric shapes, repetition and crisp lines, the art deco style first took off on the back of the First World War. After such horrendous times, people wanted to leave the past behind, look to the future, and embrace all it could bring. Plus, people had more money to spend and invest in creating spaces that were inspired by technology and modernity.
The art deco interior design movement was largely a rejection of the previous art nouveau trend. A style most famously demonstrated by The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. Art nouveau is characterised by smooth shapes and lines inspired by organic forms, a stark contrast to art deco’s sharp lines and geometrics.
Ultimately, art deco was a relatively short-lived affair. The style fizzled out as the Second World War broke out and art deco, synonymous with forward-thinking and celebration of the future, was no longer in demand nor something people could relate to.
However, this wasn’t the end for art deco interior design, as the late 1960s saw a renewed interest in the style. Ever since then, art deco has been a popular source of inspiration for art, fashion, jewellery and interiors.
