Art Deco is an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France after WWI and began flourishing internationally in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s before its popularity waned after WWII. Deco emerged from the interwar period when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials, characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes and ornamentation.
