The term Art Deco was coined in the 1960s to refer to the art that emerged during the interwar period. It was a style that developed in all facets of design and reached its peak at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris (1925). Art Deco is characterized by its use of straight lines and geometric volumes. It's a style that emerged from the combination of various trends. It differs from other artistic periods because it's a purely decorative style where artists focused on creating attractive and balanced pieces that reflected the society of their time.
