APARTMENT DESIGN IN ART DECO STYLE

The Art Deco style comes from France. It originated after World War II at an art exhibition that featured Parisian-made luxury goods. Inspired designers and architects began to create a new culture that celebrated luxury, pretentiousness, creativity and exclusivity. Sculptures made of ivory and bronze became the symbol of that era.
