    Most people remember their grandparents home as warm and cozy. Mine lived in an art deco building (600 Page Street) in San Francisco. No grandma waiting at the door in an apron with a plate of cookies. We walked into an ornate gilt lobby and took the deco elevator up to their floor.

    One thing to consider is that during this time period, kitchens were quite utilitarian--there was nothing glamorous or spacious about a kitchen. People ate in the dining room and the kitchen was like a "backstage" area. If you want to see a historical representation of art deco, watch the old Poirot episodes. Yes, he lives in an apartment and is single, but his apartment is quite luxurious--though the kitchen isn't.

      On the other hand, this was when a lot of our ideas about efficiency, santitation and the use of modern appliances began. As boring as they might look to us, are deco era kitchens, at least the sort in high end flats and houses such as Poirot lived in, WERE designed with thought, compared to older kitchens which tended to be individual kitchen items: coal stove, sink, big table, smaller table, pie safes/ice boxes plopped around a room in no particular order or plan. Kitchens were small and not meant for company to hand about in, but they weren't neglected spaces.

    We have an opulent hotel from the 1920s where I live that's never been modified. Its architecture has an almost Ancient Egyptian feel to it in heaviness and grandeur. There's a lot of dark natural woods, tons of gold everywhere, loud black and white natural stones, and the walls that were painted were a sandy beige with splashes of gold and teal. Large painted frescoes everywhere.

      @@whiteserpent6753 Agree. And Art Nouveau home furnishings never much percolated down from the richest 3%. An average household might have had an AN picture frame or whatnot (that nobody really looked at anyway) among the Edwardian Louis XVI and it probably would hang there until WW2. And Deco in the 1920s was mainly in public spaces - only the rich had lacquer, bronze, ebony, etc at home - cheap 1920s Deco furniture barely existed. A Deco radio or phonograph would have been likely the only "modern" furniture in a late 1920s home. Only when late Deco (Moderne) came along in the 30s did inexpensive iterations began to take over in middle class houses.

    I love Art Deco. Thank you for tying it into Art Nouveau. I like to think of Art Deco as the style of industry and power of man born out of a desire to move away from the decadence of Art Nouveau and late 19th century styles like French Second Empire and Queen Anne. It's still highly decorative but it embraces a new age.
    For modern-day Art Deco, the set for the TV show a Series of Unfortunate Events does a nice job of modernizing the style in the episode Ersatz Elevator.

      @@hereforthevideoessays6399 art deco and post modernism (Memphis design) don’t really look alike very much. Art deco was as decorative as art nouveaux, but characterized by the materials that were new at the time, and - as Becker wrote - a certain ideology that was optimistic about the future and mankind’s place in it. It was eccentric yet elegant. Postmodernism (Memphis) was a (j̶u̶v̶e̶n̶i̶l̶e̶) counter initiative to modernism: it was colorful and whimsical, and de-emphasized functionality. It did all of this primarily to make a (political) statement. Visually, it was more playful than glamorous.
      Maximalism and glam are, in my opinion, just interior design modifiers and not really styles themselves. In any case, they aren’t from a specific time period. If you google maximalism, some sources say maximalism has existed for centuries. It’s just the opposite of minimalism … and glam, I’d say it’s a generic version of the glamorous styles of the last century. It’s just a short-hand for glamorous, so I’d say you could label any specific interior style or time period as glam if it uses a lot of shiny materials and has that certain aura. So, art deco is an old, particular kind of glam. Contemporary glam is often more minimalistic and not as decorative imo.

    Thank you SO MUCH for bringing the subject of the continuity or the reasons behind the emergence of an art movement ! And yes, to be consistent in your deco, YOU NEED to know a bit of history... So many people think Art Nouveau (=Modern Style) and Art Deco are the same... Well, nothing could be less true ! There is a lot of Art Nouveau in the Art Deco movement and though it has lasted very little time compared to Art Deco, it had a major influence despite its detractors. Light, color, patterns, space (especially regarding entrances) and liberty were all considerations of Art Nouveau... It was also a time when everything feminine was relevant. But the masculanity of Art Deco won (again) through its symmetrical and geometrical patterns and style, denying the authorship to what Art Nouveau had made possible. Must I add that Art Nouveau emerged in reaction to the industrial era ?! So did Art Deco in reaction to Art Nouveau ! Everything has a purpose ;-) I read somewhere that you can always mix styles that are close in time to achieve a good deco, hence why mixing Art Deco with mid century or industrial are ok.

I have not always lived in such a place, (and won't always be here) and when I lived in Kansas and planned my homes, I always searched for balance. I see in many real estate shows that people don't know how to balance their furnishings. For one thing, people always shove their sofas against the walls. Another thing, in a room with beautiful windows, people place their sofa across the space which means the view is lost AND visitors sometimes have to face bright sunlight. Maybe you could do some demonstrations--from unbalanced to balanced.Balance is so important and makes even a humble space welcoming.

How do you achieve Art Deco without overwhelming the space and visitors? Anyway we absolute love all your videos and your humour makes us often laugh out loud! Thank you and keep doing what you do!

    so glad you actually know what Art Deco is. So many people confuse Deco and Art Moderne or Streamline

    Love art deco - mostly for architecture & commercial spaces - those bars & restaurant pics were amazing! Not so much for residential, but that's just me. Would love to see a video about art nouveau too!

    Nick, I really enjoyed this deep dive into Art Deco! Its not my style of design, but i can certainly appreciate when it is well executed. Really dig how you approach this series with background information, examples, and ways to apply it for ourselves. I always feel like I learn a lot from you. Nicely done!

    I am a shy, recessive person but l express my dramatic side in my clothing and my decor. I just did my front door in a black and yellow geometric design. I used a door sticker as l don't have a year to do it by hand. I love it. Seeing this video l realize it is "art deco". My style is absolutely eclectic. As l have but one life to live l want to embrace all styles and have great fun making them work together. *With that said, this the perfect channel.*

  • @Halbmond

    I love the optimism and the grandeur of art deco. In spirit it feels similar to the futurism of the 1950s and 60s: the idea that manmade materials are special, that the future is going to be really cool, and that mankind can achieve anything. The Chrysler Building is absolutely stunning, and look at the winged metal soldier watching over the Niagara Mohawk Building! All of this just feels … greater than life. Admittedly, it also reminds me of Bioshock and the political ideas of that time, so it’s giving me chills at the same time. I also really like the sleek lines of streamline design which kind of sprung from art deco. And in some ways, I think all of this is a much classier kind of glam than what we now think of as glam!
    Unfortunately, most modern “art deco” interiors don’t really look like art deco at all, and when you try to find products in that style, you’re just bombarded with wallpapers and posters featuring cliché patterns. Thanks for recommending CB2, that looks like one of the most promising sources!

    I love Art Deco as it's the grandfather to my beloved Dieselpunk. I'm planning my Art Deco living room and library as I find Art Deco really allows wood to pop.
    In nerdy terms, Art Deco is dwarves and Art Nuevo is Elves.

  • @juliadandy6019

    Best comparison I’ve ever read is for my fantasy fans:
    Dwarves are Art Deco;
    Elves are Art Nouveau.

    I was introduced to Art Deco around the late 80s when I interviewed for a job in Baltimore and the hotel I stayed in had different rooms decorated with different styles and I loved it. So I like to decorate with different rooms in my home with different styles ☺️😎

  • @FabiWe91
    @FabiWe91 Před 2 lety +6

    Thank you for making this video on my favourite design style! I have a lot of vintage art deco furniture, which you can still find for quite cheap in my area. I like to style it very lightweight and minimalist though. For example, I found two nightstands from the 40s with typical art deco applications and feet and I put the Foscarini Birdie bedside lamps in white on top. The contrast is so satisfying.

  • @amallyasavage5976
    @amallyasavage5976 Před rokem

    The 80s had some Art Deco revival that truly makes my skin crawl. It can go cheesy if done wrong. I now feel more comfortable with Art Deco, thanks Nick.

  • @lizcademy4809
    @lizcademy4809 Před 2 lety +9

    There's also Streamline Moderne, which drops some of the opulence in favor of the Industrial. This is one of my favorite styles.
    My home was built in 1900, and its style screams Craftsman. Which I also love.

    • @nathalie_desrosiers
      @nathalie_desrosiers Před 2 lety +1

      In fact, the term 'Art Deco' was not used before much later. The 'Streamline Modern' is part of art deco style.

    I just got a 1920’s appartment in the Hague, Netherlands. Totally decorating it in a mix of art deco and Jugendstil. Love it. I love bothe the more straight lines of art deco but also the more organic art nouveau forms. So my aim is to mix both. Guess I can’t decide.😊

  • @paulazemeckis7835

    Art Deco was popular in Atlanta in the 90's. I had a contemporary condo but with art deco furniture pieces. Kudzu in Decatur had great antique selections.

    A lot of these Art Deco images really remind me of my teenage years in the 80's, lol. Then we had the color combo of pink and green ...and the art of Patrick Nagel, but boy were a lot of the shapes similar!
    So, if anyone out there really likes this style and can't find stuff that is 100 years old, just look for stuff from the 1980's and you're real dang close!p to it!

    Yes! I've been waiting for this video! I definitely like organic curvy lines, so I think I would want a blend of art deco and art nouveau. But I haven't been able how to picture this as a modern interpretation.

    An example of Deco which I think is livable today is Poirot's flat in the Agatha Christie mystery series. Wish YT would let me leave a link, but it's beautiful, light, luxurious, but not extreme.
