Art Deco is a design movement that became a popular style during the 1930s. The style was designed to provide a sleek and dynamic elegance that symbolized wealth and sophistication. Due to the increased interest in technological innovation and the archeological discoveries of the time, artists and designers were influenced by technology as well as ancient Egyptian and Aztec styles. It is because of this unique mashup of elements that art deco stands out as a dramatic, artistic style with bold, sharp lines and abstract forms.
Characteristics of Art Deco Lighting
The common characteristics of art deco lighting are geometric shapes along with symmetric forms. The style can be highly ornamental and uses an unvaried repetition of elements to add detail and interest. Gold leaf and chrome finishes are a common trait of the style. These treatments were chosen to portray an expensive appearance.
