Architect : Art deco in American industrial design
The period between World War I and World War II is often referred to as the Art Deco years. The sleek, rectilinear forms and synthetic materials created a vision of the future. This vision was embraced by the thrill seekers of the 1920’s as well as Americans seeking an escape from the hardships of the 1930’s depression.
Art Deco design could be found everywhere from architecture to industrial design. It naturally lent itself to industrial design with its geometrical shapes; sweeping curves, clean parallel lines, and rounded corners that optimized value and appearance in an elegant, glamorous, functional, modern way. It was art incorporated into everyday life.
The early concept of Art Deco was meant to be a representation of luxury and wealth and initially it catered to the wealthy. It was characterized by materials such as exotic and inlaid woods, precious metals, tortoise shell, oriental lacquers, stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, Formica, sharkskin, zebra skin and Bakelite. The handcrafted look was an integral part of the early Art Deco period and was highly sought after. Craftsmanship was valued, particuarly by the rich and famous. Consequently, it became valued by the average American eager to have the same thing as the celebrities had.

Modern Furniture For The Contemporary Home
The Modern Living Room: There are dozens of aspects one must pay attention to when it comes to decorating a living room. There are several elements that make up a room – color, style, modern furniture, lighting – and regardless of the style you are going for, you will need to take the utmost care. These rules are exemplified when it comes to designing a modern living room.
Furniture in a modern living room is an element that has many different facets, but perhaps the biggest of them all will be your sofa. A modern sofa can embody many different things. You may like a sofa with clean lines, you also may enjoy have a one of a kind sofa like a hand shaped sofa or for someone looking for a real wow factor, why not check out the lip shaped sofa.
Colour Me Brightly! Understanding Light in Interior Design. Part IV: Conclusion
Professional interior designers are expertly trained in the use of lighting features to create breathtaking results. In this four-part series which I call “Colour Me Brightly: Understanding Light in Interior Design,” I draw on my experience in London’s interior design community to explain this fascinating subject. This fourth article concludes my series.
Linear light patterns can focus on either the horizontal or the vertical metrics of a room. A given wall-light technique can create an immersing halo effect, if the interior designer uses concentrated super-bright light at high level that gradually fades out towards the base. Some London Interior Design consultancies specialise in choosing continuous sources, such as a miniature tungsten rack for a soft light or overlapping fluorescents for a cooler light. This is an effect that works very well in contemporary interior designs, where light can be concealed between the wall and the ceiling in a crevice in order to take the place of the traditional cornice.
