In the world of design, sometimes it’s true that what’s old is new again! The recent rise in Art Deco style looks is a perfect example of this.
Art Deco is characterized by the modernization of artistic themes from the past, drawing inspiration from Greek, Egyptian and Aztec styles, as well as by the use of bold lines and sharp silhouettes inspired by modern innovations. Art Deco lighting often contains elements like zig-zag lines, jumbled forms and geometric shapes.
It’s a look that is at once modern and timeless, so perhaps it’s no surprise that, 100 years after it first appeared on the design scene, Art Deco is coming back!
Here are 10 of our favorite ways to get Art Deco lighting style.
Savoy House Anholt chandelier: Anholt is a waterfall of Art Deco glamour, featuring curved branching arms adorned with faceted crystal drops in different shapes and sizes.
Hudson Valley Coltrane pendant: We love the diamond shape of this pendant and the fact that it beautifully pairs two different finishes. Also offered in a black with polished nickel finish.
George Kovacs Major bath vanity light: The geometric forms in this bath bar are illuminated by an innovative integrated LED. Now that’s today’s Art Deco!
Metropolitan Storyboard wall sconce: This wall light makes me think of magnificently-designed theaters like Atlanta’s very own Fox Theatre (built in the 1920s with style inspirations from Egypt and Spain).
