WHAT IS: Art Deco
Art Deco (1920 - 1940) is a design style that reached the apex of its popularity between two global conflicts, World War I and II.
It borrowed from virtually all the design styles of the past in order to fashion the future.
It was the perfect expression of Paris during the 20’s to the 30’s and embraced every area of design and the decorative arts including architecture, interiors, furniture, jewellery, painting and graphics, bookbinding, costume, glass and ceramics.
It was all about glamour.
WHAT IS: A Mirror, more than just Glass
Many myths, legends and superstitions are associated with the mirror and in all cultures they are associated with truth. In antiquity the eye served precisely to characterize one’s beloved ocule mi, my little eye.
It was in Eve’s eye, described as the mirror of love, that Adam first learned to know himself. From that encounter, reflection, concentration, self construction and reproduction were said to have been born.
