Loss of natural forms

Art Deco was coined in the 1960s, refers to a style that spanned the boom of the roaring 1920s and the bust of the Depression ridden 1930s

It drew on tradition and yet simultaneously celebrated the mechanised, modern world

It embraced both handcrafted and machine production, exclusive works of high art and new products in affordable materials

 It affected all forms of design, from the fine and decorative arts to fashion, film, photography, transport and product design.
