Origins & History
Art Deco emerged in France before World War I and flourished internationally throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The name derives from the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris.
The style combined modernist principles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. It was applied to architecture (Chrysler Building), fashion, furniture, and graphic design. The movement celebrated progress, technology, and luxury.
In digital design, Art Deco influences appear in luxury branding, entertainment (The Great Gatsby, Bioshock), and retro-styled interfaces. Its geometric precision translates well to modern vector graphics and responsive design.
