Make a statement with art deco furniture

Art Deco Furniture

If your granny was a flapper, she probably had a home furnished with art deco furniture. The cool, sleek and dramatically simple designs of art deco have left an impression on interior design today and are often imitated without receiving the label of "retro". The legacy art deco furniture has left on contemporary furnishings is simple elegance and refined functionality with solid colors, geometric shapes and chrome highlights.

However, many people do not realize that art deco furniture is characterized by two phases in the movement. Until the mid 1920s, art deco furniture was ornate and usually made of exotic woods like amboyna with real ivory touches. This art deco furniture was meant to reflect the opulence of the Industrial boom, as experienced by young, wealthy society people as depicted in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby. However, as mass production in the auto industry began to influence other industries, art deco furniture became more streamlined and simple, stressing functionality which was more in fashion than ornamentation, which became a relic of the Victorian era.

Many art deco pieces can be found in antique stores, but the style is often imitated today. Steel furniture with leather cushions in bold colors is an example of the simple elegance of the art deco style. Mix a cocktail from an art deco bar that conceals bottles within its rosewood veneer with a gentle zig zag pattern. One of the most famous pieces of art deco furniture is the egg chair with a chrome curved back and leather interior. Be careful; once you sit down, you might not want to get out! To enhance your art deco furniture, select a light fixture from the period in dramatic petal-like curves and gold trim. Pull your light on and off with an old fashioned beaded chain.
