Art Deco is a style that was most popular in the 1920s and 1930s and was an expression of modern elegance. It is characterized by the use of simple, somewhat futuristic forms and geometric patterns, as well as vibrant colors in which black and white dominate. The Art Deco style furniture usually has bright leather upholstery and streamlined shapes. Among the smaller furnishings there are coffee tables, mirrors and stately slender vases. Ebony veneers and minimalist details of glass and steel attract attention. Architects and interior designers are still inspired by interwar Art Deco style.
