Art deco refers to a striking range of decorative design styles that emerged in the early twentieth century. Original art deco is characterised by bold colours, geometric shapes, and sweeping curves. Novel materials and advances in technology suggested a mechanised design future over a hand crafted past, and art deco reflected this in its dynamic aesthetic style. This book looks at the brief arc of art deco in Britain, with pointers to the best surviving structures and pieces of decoration that can still be found on the streets of Britain.
