About the Style: Art Deco Origins & Inspiration
• Origins: Art Deco emerged in France in the 1920s, gaining international prominence between the World Wars. It was a response to the
optimism of the post‑WWI era and the rise of the Machine Age. Designers like Émile‑Jacques Ruhlmann pioneered furniture that combined functionality with luxury.
• Characteristics: Bold geometric shapes, streamlined curves, and luxurious materials such as exotic woods, chrome, and lacquer defined
the style.
• Inspiration: Art Deco drew from modern technology, industrial progress, and global influences (Egyptian, African, and Asian motifs).
It symbolized glamour, sophistication, and forward‑looking design.
• 1960s Adaptation: By the 1960s, Art Deco’s influence merged with mid‑century modern sensibilities, resulting in pieces like this sofa
that balance ornamental flair with practical comfort.
A matching pair of 1960 Art Deco Chairs available, also in their original used condition available. Priced separately.
