Art Deco

This richly illustrated book offers a fascinating and detailed look at the Art Deco style in London from building design to decorative detail.

Although usually associated with the 1920s and '30s, the Art Deco style had already begun to emerge in France prior to the First World War. Art Deco design is redolent of the Jazz Age, conjuring images of society cocktail parties, the Charleston and Hollywood in this great but doomed era of excess. This book deals with Art Deco.

From cinemas to airport terminals, and hotels to private houses, art deco style made a great impact on Britain between the wars, on buildings and structures, inside and out. This is its story.

Shows the creativity of the architects and designers of the period, as well as the currents in the city's culture that helped shape their work. This title sheds light on the key features of the Art Deco style and more.
