Short for Arts Décoratifs, the Art Deco style originated in Paris in the early 20th century and became popular in the 1920s. By interpreting old-world luxury and glamour through a modernist lens, Art Deco balanced beauty and function — and its standout examples of design and architecture are more relevant than ever today.
