Art Deco style furniture

Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, leather, lacquer, inlaid wood and exotic materials such as ivory, shark skin, and zebra skin. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the 1920s and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and modern. Art Deco had a profound influence on many later artistic movements, such as Memphis and Pop art.
