A style book on perhaps the most popular design movement of the twentieth century--Art deco. This book is a style survey, covering deco from its origins in France in the 20's up through its later changes and revivals. Art Deco sprung from a wide variety of sources and ideas, and its influence has been equally widespread, in fields from architecture, interior design and even ship design to jewelry, glassware, furniture and ceramics. This book serves not only as a valuable reference for designers and collectors, but is also a trove of visual delights for everyone interested in style and design.
