The art deco style is making a comeback almost a hundred years after its birth !

When you think of Art Deco, you can’t help but think of Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel Gatsby the Magnificent, a symbol of an era of luxury, glamour and chic in the aftermath of the First World War.

This famous artistic movement, which took off at the dawn of the 1920s, is distinguished mainly by the purity of its geometric and decorative motifs, constantly moving shapes (arcs), the importance of gilding, intense colours (emerald green and red) and the use of noble materials such as wood (ebony, mahogany, etc.), glass, ivory and wrought iron.

Art Deco, which has become a worldwide craze, seduces with its fantasy and nostalgically recalls a light and elegant era.

This movement, which affected all sectors: fashion, furniture, ceramics, architecture, jewellery, made lighting an object of decoration in its own right.

The light fixture was transformed into a new elegant jewel with its geometrical shapes (square ceiling lights or hanging lamps with spheres for example) and its materials used such as glass, wood or brass.

However, this comeback is not a simple copy or re-edition of this movement, but rather a reinterpretation of it with more contemporary influences. This “modernity” of art deco claims to be a synthesis of different artistic currents and makes the link between craft and industry. Be careful, however, not to mix it with furniture that is too modern in design and does not fit in with the noble materials used in Art Deco.

Many brands have found inspiration in Art Deco.

For example: Hugues Chevalier, Jean Perzel (162), Flos (IC Light, Captain Flint), il fanale (molecola), Marset (Ginger), Raphael Armand (Tesseract), Vistosi (Peggy).
