Art Deco

Art Deco is a design style that first appeared in France and is strongly influenced by Art Nouveau period. With the Art Deco style you will see a lot of very rich colors and a lot of geometric shapes including zigzags and Chevron shapes. The furniture style was also very rich with the materials that were used. Some materials included ebony, leather, polished materials, metals, and glass. The Art Deco style represented luxury and glamour.
