The Art Deco movement flourished with the optimism following World War I. Designers of the 1920s sought to create a modern aesthetic that embraced technological advancements and exuded opulence, rather than revisiting past styles. The name "Art Deco" originates from the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, a showcase of this luxurious style. Think of the grand, elegant sets of The Great Gatsby, filled with intricate details, bold colors, and lavish finishes. Despite their embrace of new technology, Art Deco designers maintained a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, using premium materials like rosewood, mahogany, walnut, and ebony. Art Deco furniture is known for its geometric shapes and smooth curves, with chairs often featuring these distinctive elements.

Dining chairs from the Art Deco era frequently showcased geometric patterns carved from fine woods and were upholstered with luxurious fabrics. The influence of Bauhaus designers such as Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe on Art Deco furniture is evident, particularly in the use of tubular steel and innovative designs. Designers like Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, and Poul Henningsen were inspired by these pioneers, creating timeless pieces that remain popular today. Art Deco lounge chairs and sofas often featured polished walnut frames and curvilinear designs, with many showcasing tufted shellbacks or cloud backs in vibrant colors contrasted with dark piping or trim.

Our ever-expanding selection of Art Deco side chairs, dining chairs, chaise lounges, sofas, and lounge chairs ensures you’ll find the perfect piece to enhance your dining room, living area, or bedroom.
