The Art Nouveau era began at the end of the 19th century and brought with it a revolution in the world of art and design. Art Nouveau is a decadent and contemporary furnishing style that is still used in modern households and gives every room a special historical atmosphere.
Art nouveau is often confused with art deco, which emerged at the same time but, unlike art nouveau, favours symmetrical forms. Art Nouveau lamps combine nature, art and functionality and make your home shine with elegance.
Features of Art Nouveau Lamps
The right lighting perfectly rounds off your room in the Art Nouveau style of the 1890s. Art Nouveau lamps have various features:
- Materials: Lampshades made of glass or ornaments such as gemstones are an absolute eye-catcher. Glass shades captivate with their variety of colours and their ability to refract light in a unique way. Brass lamps or a metal lamp base complete your Art Nouveau room. Alternatively, you can use plastic lamps with a corresponding lacquer finish or colour that resembles original materials such as brass.
- Quality: Art Nouveau lamps impress with their high-quality workmanship, as precious, durable materials are used in their manufacture.
- Imitation of nature: Art Nouveau lamps are characterised by flowing, curved lines that are modelled on nature. Lights in this style are usually characterised by asymmetrical, floral patterns and shapes. The handcrafted products of Art Nouveau bring naturalness and uniqueness into your home.
- Colours: Art Nouveau is characterised by muted, warm colours such as brown, green, mustard yellow or ochre. Golden elements can also often be found on walls, furniture or lamps.
Art Nouveau Table Lamps and Floor Lamps
Art Nouveau table lamps and floor lamps can be used to set aesthetic accents. Whether on chests of drawers, side tables, shelves or desks - the lamps illuminate every corner and are practical, additional sources of light for reading or working. They are not only useful and portable, but also central decorative pieces that emphasise the craftsmanship, appearance and quality that are characteristic of Art Nouveau with their combination of various robust materials such as metal or glass. Art Nouveau floor lamps and table lamps fit into any interior, whether modern or traditional.
