we can’t deny it. sometimes, a little more often than one would think, we find ourselves wishing we were living in the art deco era of the 1920s and 30s. this era just evokes such a grand feeling, with style often characterized by opulent colors and fabrics, extravagant ornamentation and most notably, bold geometric shapes. the book art deco complete by alastair duncan manages to encompass all the grandiosity of art deco as it profiles everything from interior design to fashion jewelry of the time. we continually find ourselves referring back to this comprehensive book for inspiration for our current projects.
