After ART NOUVEAU with its linear, curved and soft shapes, geometry takes over and frees itself from naturalism producing simpler and more elegant shapes without the need to be similar to nature. The design so becomes ART DECO and develops over a period of time from 1920 to 1940. It is characterized by the extreme geometric synthesis, refined and elegant. The references to nature are rare and episodic but always in good taste. The decoration becomes modern, the curved lines intertwine with rectangular planes and lines in a mix that stands out more in architecture and in the creation of design objects. A style that represents an era of beauty and modernity in balance between mind and heart.
