Art Deco With Great Style from Lalique.
Art Deco was a new era in design and incorporated recurring geometric designs.
Patterns still included nature themes by Lalique but these were updated to fit into the art deco style.

Some Art Deco designs can still be found and these are strongly geometric in features.

Great examples of Art Deco are the Chrysler Building in New York,
Although Lalique was a strong influence, the art deco movement was lead byHector Guimard, Eugène Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Follot, Maurice Dufrene, and Emile Decour
They organized the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Art) in Paris
Art Deco design influences were expressed in the crystalline and faceted forms of decorative Cubism and Futurism.
Ocean liners like the Queen Mary and the Normandie (where Lalique did most of the glass installations) are classic examples of Art Deco.

Artists like Lempicka brought a new vision to art.
There are many examples of Art Deco in Havana Cuba and also in Miami Florida.
Jewelry changed too with platinum and diamonds in common use and the style change to the double clip.

The Art Deco period extended from the mid 1920s to the 1950s but after World War two it was considered a little old fashioned.
