Description

The atmosphere of the 1920s is brilliantly recaptured in this elegant and amusing book. Everything from Cartier diamonds and New York skyscrapers to kitchen clocks and cigarette lighters was influenced by the distinctive designs of these years. It was the era of total design, when everything down to the smallest doorknob had to be stylishly and tastefully made, and the most functional of objects became decorative. 109 stunning colour photographs, specially taken by Angelo Hornak, provide a show more visual feast for all lovers of Art Deco. show less
