Gatsby lamps in an Art Deco interior

8 March 2024 11:00
An ART DECO INTERIOR is extravagant and impressive. Not an average environment. No, no, you'll feast your eyes! Parabolic shapes, geometric motifs in ornamental and cubist lines clearly want to make a statement and let the colours of each object shine. Gold, silver or mother-of-pearl shines in the light and creates a luxurious glamorous feel. The shade black accentuates and underlines graphic boundaries. What IDEOLOGY lies behind furnishing an Art Deco home?

An Art Deco interior is a "GESAMTKUNSTWERK"

All the elements in an Art Deco building, the furniture, the wallpaper, the carpets, the home accessories and the LIGHTING must be perfectly coordinated. An Art Deco interior is a cohesive work of art. This means that the architect/artist precisely coordinates each element with the aim of improving and perfecting the resident's quality of life and living. After all, you feel good in a harmonious living environment! An Art Deco interior thus wishes to be a creative work of art in which an attempt has been made to merge the visual arts, the applied arts and even the performing arts in a perfect way to create a totally comprehensive work of art. For instance, there is a well-known story about Henri van de Velde. This famous Belgian architect thus designed not only architecture but also the furniture, silverware and wallpaper, to sometimes even the clothes and jewellery of the building's occupants!
