The evolution of the art deco style
At the start of the 20th century, art deco furniture became popular, especially in America. This style was popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect and designer, who used it in many famous buildings, including the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.
Art Deco designs can range from simple contemporary furniture pieces, such as a vanity or coffee table, to large-scale pieces that include a lounge chair or claw foot tub. French furniture makers felt threatened by this growing popularity of German designs and styles, especially Biedermeier's clean and minimalist design.
French designers decided to introduce new French styles to the 1912 living room. This included various types of armchairs, tables and ottomans to suit the French style.
