What defines Art Deco
At its core, art deco design is about glamorous 1920s-inspired design built on geometry, symmetry and rich materials. The look comes from bold geometric pattern, fluted and scalloped detail and statement lighting, working together to create a glamorous and bold space. Add mirrored surfaces and jewel-toned upholstery to complete it.
