Geometry and symmetry

Geometric forms and symmetry are key elements of Art Deco. Wooden elements were often adorned with inlays of different wood species, creating complex and harmonious patterns. These patterns could be linear or consist of repeating forms such as circles, triangles, and zigzags.

Luxury and decorativeness

Wooden details in Art Deco were distinguished by high decorativeness and could be adorned with carving, lacquer, or even gilding. Furniture and decorative panels were often handcrafted, making each item unique.

Innovations and technologies

During the Art Deco era, new wood processing technologies were actively developed. They allowed designers to transform ordinary wood into artworks that still impress with their refinement and craftsmanship.
