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.

Gardens can some in every shape, size and variety from a little patch of flowers to elaborately landscaped areas filled with exotic plant varieties and tended by professional gardeners to a backyard area with vegetables under cultivation.

No matter what kind of garden, the one thing most gardens have in common is that they are made to be places for enjoyment in the outdoors and they must have some sort of design and delineation between one garden area and the other, and this takes some kind of edging with metal garden edging being the most modern type available. Garden edging has traditionally been a simple arrangement of stones piled up around the edges of the flower beds. Then, cedar and treated wood timbers became quite common.
