- Art Deco — A prominent global artistic and design style, dominant in the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by the use of clear geometric shapes, straight and zigzag lines, rigorous symmetry, intense colors, and luxurious materials (such as chrome, glass, bakelite, and exotic wood veneers). Originating in France as an expression of modernity and technological progress, it deeply influenced urban architecture, interior design, fashion, and global decorative arts.
