Art deco inspiration in the 20th century

Art Deco inspiration reached popular influence in the visual arts, architecture and fashion in the early 20th century. The style originated in France before World War I and has since been influenced by the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry and fashion. During its peak, the Art Deco movement also shaped movie theaters, trains, and everyday objects like radios. However, it is best known for its use in furniture and decorative objects.

This modern-for-the-time style reached its peak in the early 1920s, when late art nouveau was at its zenith. Artists were influenced by art deco and embraced the style in their work. The 1930s era saw the development of modern technology and the industrial revolution. It revolutionized furniture and made life easier for everyone. Many designers have adapted these developments in their work. Exotic materials were often used in decorative artistic designs. This style has also found its way into traditional forms of visual art, such as sculpture. And, because it focuses on contemporary technology, the style was even more popular than ever before.
