This generously illustrated book offers a fascinating and detailed look at the Art Deco style from building design to decorative detail.
Gaining prominence at the 1925 Paris Exposition, the Art Deco style was soon adapted by many nations throughout the world. The UK's versions of the style were less florid than the French or that of the United States, and reflected the country s imperial status. The variety of interpretations and love of detail is demonstrated from the imposing style of the Savoy Hotel, to the ornate detail of West End theatres, and Art Deco factories like the Hoover Building.
