Art Deco yes or no?

[Accy cyclist]

I saw something similar to this yesterday in an antique shop.

What do you think. Tasteful or naff?

 

[Fab Foodie]

Beautiful. I would gladly have both.

You were too quick for me Foodie! How about this?

 

[FishFright]

They are both beautiful objects. If you disagree then you're just plain wrong.

Things can be both. It's in the eye of the beholder. I designed the interior of a £90million super-yacht in art deco style, down to designing the carpets (and getting Lalique to make the bar/ dining room doors)..........yet quite dislike it as a style. My view is that there is a reason art deco only lasted 20 years.

 

[AndyRM]

Yes. Probably my favourite style of design.

Very nice!

Of course, you'll have to adjust your wardrobe to suit...

What do you mean "adjust"?

 

[Profpointy]

To be serious for a moment, one problem with Art Deco furniture and interiors is that they only look good when perfect. After a few biffs they can look very shabby indeed. More "traditional" furniture tends to acquire a patina and scratches and dings add character once they've been polished a bit.

Is Art the one on the left, or is that Deco, I get so confused.

Either way I miss their biker grove stuff

Some items are nicer than others. On the whole, I like the aesthetic but like anything, there's the good, the bad and the average
