A little Lesson in Style: Development of the Art Déco Style
The Art Deco style, which developed between the two world wars of the 20th century, was a design movement that artfully combined elegance and luxury. The heyday of the era can be dated to the period between the 1920s and 1940s in France and was influenced by Art Nouveau and Modern Style. The term "Art déco" is derived from the French term "Arts décoratifs", which refers to decorative, form-giving art and applied art, for example in the fields of architecture, fashion or furniture.
Characteristics of Art Dèco Lamps
Compared to Art Nouveau, which focused on curved lines and nature as a source of inspiration, the Art Deco style is characterised by geometric structures, clear lines and a modern, abstract approach. The lampshades are often made of opalescent glass, coloured glass or metal and feature artistic shapes such as cylinders, conical silhouettes or spherical designs.
