The Art deco style gained popularity at the late 1920’s and at the beginning of 30’s. This term came from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was held in Paris in 1925. At the beginning of its development Art Deco was used exclusively as a decorative style of interior decoration and was very popular.

It was known as functional, elegant, and ultra modern together with an eclectic style which had Egyptian, African, Aztec Mexican influences, and technology like for example aviation. Art Deco is an opulent style that involves clean lines, geometric shapes where unusual materials, such as marble and ebony are taken. It may also include other materials like rare woods, veneer, stainless steel, lacquer, aluminum, inlaid wood, shark skin, and zebra skin.

Some of the most well known designers of Art Deco were from Paris, France from where this movement originated. During the early 1900’s, a man whose name was Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann was involved in one of the largest Art Deco designing industries in the world and became famous for his unusual furniture designs. In his designs of furniture he used exotic woods, such as amboyna, violetwood, and macassar ebony, and managed to make the pieces look elegant and comfortable. The other famous designers are Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Louis Süe and Andre Mare. The furniture designed by Mies van der Rohe's furniture combined a modern, machine look with a detailed hand-finished method.

The most of the furniture was made of steel but still it preserved a simple and elegant look. One of the most well known pieces made by the designer is called the “Barcelona Chair,” which was first established in 1929. It looked like a distorted "X" and its seat and back were upholstered with leather. Süe and Mare created the Compagnie des Arts Français in order to make French furniture without impacts of foreign countries’ styles. They produced heavy and flamboyant pieces choosing inlays and veneers for creating dramatic designs, patterns, and pictures on their furniture.

The furniture of the Art Deco style is very unique and made with clean lines and has interesting shapes. Some sofas can be really comfortable having barrel shaped frames and sloped arms. Other pieces are made of tubular steel with a chrome plated frame upholstered in a nice fabric. You can also choose club chairs in a black lacquer finish with hand carved details painted in vibrant colors and upholstered in a gorgeous velvet fabric.

Club chairs are also very elegant and they suit perfectly for conversation seating with a round table in the center. Due to their size it is very simple to arrange them in your room. There many other beautiful chairs made with elephant arms and a rounded or mustache back. Some of the seatings have a solid ebony frame made from genuine ivory and sycamore inlays. The ivory is used for the decoration of the top edge of the wood back, along with the back area of the arm rests, while the inlays are placed in a linear pattern on the top front area of the arm. The feet are a hand carved melon style. Some chairs can be in red leather, with a flip out leg rest, their metal legs are painted black and have brass sabot feet.
