History of Art Deco Design

To understand the origins of deco art, we must travel to late-nineteenth-century France. The Roaring Twenties were a lavish time when people moved on from traditional virtues and began experiencing life to the fullest. With the influx of machine-made things and industrialism, extravagant parties, sultry jazz clubs, and pubs flourished.

The ornamental designers of the time employed cutting-edge technology to create new-ageage designs and regularly displayed their work. In fact, the name Art deco name was taken from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which was held in Paris in 1925 and was the inaugural exhibition of the style.
