What defines art deco interior design — bold geometry, symmetry and luxurious materials — and why its detail belongs made to measure.
Art deco is glamour with geometry. Born in the 1920s and 30s, it celebrates bold symmetry, striking lines, luxurious materials and unapologetic drama. Think fluted detailing, geometric motifs, rich marbles and metals, and deep, saturated colour. A century later, its confident opulence feels as striking as ever — the antidote to anything bland.
The elements of art deco
Colour: rich and dramatic — deep greens, navy, black and cream, with gold and brass. Materials: luxurious and polished — marble, brass, lacquer, velvet, exotic wood veneers. Furniture: bold geometric forms, symmetry, fluting and strong silhouettes. Feel: glamorous, confident and dramatically elegant.
Art deco demands bespoke detail
Art deco is defined by detail — the fluting, the geometry, the marble inlay, the precise symmetry — and that level of detail is the domain of the workroom, not the showroom. Commissioning to measure, we build bold, geometric pieces in marble, brass and rich veneers, executed with the precision the style demands. From our workroom to your home, with no middleman.
