Started in Paris. Art Deco began in Paris in the 1910s and became hugely popular across the whole world during the 1920s and 1930s. The name comes from the French words 'Arts décoratifs,' which just means decorative arts.

Shaped entire buildings. This style didn't just decorate small objects, it transformed huge structures like skyscrapers, movie theaters, and bridges. Architects used bold geometric shapes and shiny materials to make buildings look modern and exciting.

Made everyday things beautiful. Art Deco turned ordinary items like radios, vacuum cleaners, cars, and furniture into works of art. Even clothes, jewelry, and fashion had that sleek, geometric Art Deco look.

All about geometry and shine. Art Deco designs feature bold lines, triangles, circles, and symmetry paired with luxurious materials like chrome, glass, and marble. This combination made everything look fancy and futuristic at the same time.

Decorated luxury travel. Ocean liners, trains, and buses got the Art Deco treatment, making them look like glamorous palaces that moved. These vehicles became symbols of speed, progress, and luxury.
