Art Deco is an influential design style originating in Paris after World War I spanning from 1910 – 1935. It emerged from the interwar period when rapid industrialisation was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. It is an eclectic style, which rejected traditional classical influences in favour of bold geometric shapes, streamlined forms, rich colours and lavish ornamentation. Colour palettes were bold, high contrasting colours; black, chrome and white were widely used. Shiny fabrics, mirrors and cocktail cabinets evoked the glamour of the early days of Hollywood.
