Bold lines, streamlined silhouettes and a dramatic color palette define art deco style, still going strong decades after its birth.

It’s been a century since the legendary Roaring ’20s era, and as we continue through the early 2020s, we’re reminiscing about the art deco aesthetics that keep the stylish set circling back again and again. “Strong, curved lines are the defining element of the art deco style, which is masculine in its mass but also has feminine flourishes,” says interior designer James McIntyre. “I believe the aesthetic endures because of that duality. Art deco has evolved with a new pop-art edge to it that suits a new generation.”

From starbursts and zig-zags to gleaming golds and shiny chromes, many memorable design motifs of this period are finding new life in modern furnishings, finishes and fixtures.
