Art Deco Pendant Lights
Art Deco style brings all the glamour, and razzle dazzle of the roaring 20s to a modern 21st century space. Art Deco is short for Arts Décoratifs and took its name from the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925. It combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. It is noted to represent luxury, glamour, exuberance.
At the peak of its popularity in the late 20’s, It also represented faith in social and technological progress. It eventually fell out of favour in the 50s, giving way, at least in interior decor, to Mid-Century Modern style. However, it has made a strong resurgence recently and is still very popular in contemporary and modern homes and offices.
It is truly a timeless and universally beautiful style that will continue to be popular.
