Deco(r)

Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1920 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture and interior design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, and the graphic arts. Its popularity peaked during the Roaring Twenties. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and ultra modern as well.
The Art Deco style celebrates the Machine Age through explicit use of man-made materials, particularly glass and stainless steel. It was strongly adopted in the United States during the Great Depression for its practicality and simplicity.
