Art Deco, like Art Nouveau, is a significant art and design movement that emerged in the early 20th century. However, Art Deco represents a departure from the organic and flowing forms of Art Nouveau, embracing a more geometric, sleek, and modern aesthetic. The French Art Deco design era, which reached its zenith in the 1920s and 1930s, left a lasting impact on various art forms, including architecture, interior design, visual arts, fashion, and decorative arts.

French Art Deco design represented a departure from the elaborate styles of the past, embracing a modern and sophisticated aesthetic that left an indelible mark on the design landscape of the early 20th century.
