CO91971-Art-Deco-Console
Art Deco was an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France just before World War I and began flourishing internationally from the 1920s thru the 40s. It took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors and bold geometric shapes. The Art Deco movement flourished during the interwar years when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes was an embrace of technology. It has been defined as an assertively modern style that emphasizes symmetry rather than asymmetry, and the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. With this historical backdrop in view, award-winning designer Shah Gilani, ASFD, designed the Art Deco Console for use in upscale residential and hospitality interiors. Robust metal construction of the table base allows it to support a heavy top and shelf without shaking. Four polished bronze glides are provided which also serve as levelers – a useful feature when the floor is uneven. A variety of finishes and accents are offered. Custom sizing is available.
