Marking 100 years since the height of the Art Deco movement, A Century of Deco celebrates the enduring influence of this iconic style—one that spans continents, artistic movements, and material innovation. From the sleek lines of Streamline Moderne in Miami to the gilded facades of Manhattan skyscrapers, from the poster art of Paris to the angular interiors of Milan, Art Deco defined more than an aesthetic—it defined an era. 

This palette captures that spirit through a composition of contrast, craftsmanship, and geometric grace. Architectural wallcoverings with bold, stepped motifs evoke Deco’s signature symmetry, while etched glass introduces a touch of vintage refinement and filtered light. Gold-toned hardware and metallic finishes bring just the right amount of glamour—an echo of jazz-age opulence without excess. 

Color plays a subtle but intentional role. Soft green ceramic tile and warm wood-inspired finishes lend a gentle balance to the metallic elements, offering a modern interpretation of Deco’s traditional material mix—marble, bronze, lacquered wood. The palette recalls the grand lobbies of early 20th-century hotels, the curve of an ocean liner, or the quiet luxury of a Parisian interior. 

A Century of Deco is not a replica—it’s a reawakening. Honoring the artistry and global reach of Deco design, this composition draws a line from the past to the present, proving that pattern, polish, and precision never go out of style.
