Art Deco

Bold, glamorous style incorporating vintage elements

Art Deco, a design movement originating in the 1920s and 1930s, epitomizes elegance, luxury, and technological progress. First showcased at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925, Art Deco became a symbol of modernity and sophistication. Characterized by simple geometric shapes in stylized patterns, the style emphasizes symmetry and unvaried repetition of elements, creating a seamless and harmonious visual experience. Metallic finishes, such as gold, silver, and chrome, are hallmark features, adding a layer of opulence and glamor to the design. Tile plays a pivotal role in this style, bringing unique finish options such as gloss & metallic, and an unparalleled selection of patterns. Art Deco is renowned for its bold, moody colors that contribute to its distinctive and dramatic flair. Themes often include florals, animals, and sun rays, portrayed in a stylized, abstract manner, while luxurious materials like ivory, lacquer, and exotic woods underline the style’s association with luxury and high quality. Art Deco's timeless appeal continues to influence contemporary design, reflecting its enduring legacy as a symbol of elegance and innovation.
