Symbolizing a time of great change worldwide, Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is often synonymous with bold, geometric architecture and luxurious, extravagant graphics as well as rich colors and decadent detail work. Ultimately, the Art Deco style is a pastiche of many styles, all coming together in a desire for modernism. Spanning from the beginning of World War I to the beginning of World War II, the style affected design, both commercial and independent, on a massive scale and continues to be seen in fashion, jewelry, and furniture today.
