Art Deco Interiors: Decoration and Design Classics of the 1920s and 1930s
Product Description
It was following the Paris exhibition of 1925 from which Art Deco took its name, the idea that an interior and its furnishings should form a complete design - a "total look" - dominated the thinking of many designers and their clients. Studios soon began to emerge to serve the needs of a design and style-conscious middle-class. This book displays the flourishing design ingenuity through contemporary photographs and illustrations of selected interiors complemented with modern photographs of individual pieces. It traces the sylistic evolution and dominant motifs of what was first French Art Deco, the triumph of the 1925 exhibition and the pure "high style" of the Paris ensembliers; the growth of Streamline Moderne offshoots in the US; the international revival of Art Deco as a decorative style for a new generation of post-modern designers; and the restoration of many Art Deco interiors to their original state (including Art Deco Hotels).
