Art Deco Will Be the Visual Language of 2021 - DESK Magazine
Perhaps we will find our own adaptation of Art Deco – something that’s streamlined and technological, maybe a bit more economical, yet at the same time celebratory. Something that recognizes the role of beauty in function.

We have arrived at a somewhat cold and lonely aesthetic, devoid of any sense of our identifying quality as humans: the ability to dream.

Art Deco emerged right before World War I and found its footing in the early 1920s, as did the artists responsible for it. The style borrowed from many sources and art forms, some of them contradicting. It was bright and vivid. Ornate, geometric, luxurious. It was an ode to craftsmanship. It signaled the future.

Art Deco was lavish, made with expensive materials and great effort. It wasn’t too concerned with cost or function. It was a celebration of beauty and creativity.
