A community portal about Art Deco with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1910 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts, and film. This movement was, in a sense, an amalgamation of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Constructionism, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Futurism. Its popularity apexed during the 1920s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, ultra modern.
Art Nouveau Tiles and Patterns
Although I have made many different patterns in many different styles for Color Bakery's product line (as always, any image can be ordered on any product we make), art nouveau is always my favorite, and the most fun for me to make. All those swirls and parabolas and stylized floral sweeps are just so rich looking and beautiful without being pompous, and it never goes out of style.
What is a "pattern", exactly? A pattern is simply an image or design that repeats itself. In tile, that means each tile would have the same design and would flow seamlessly when mounted next to one another.
When it comes to custom art tiles, patterns serve a special purpose: they are especially useful for small, narrow spaces, i.e., spaces where a traditional sized tile mural or backsplash wouldn't fit...like a narrow area on top of a fireplace opening, a narrow area above the kitchen counter or stove, etc. Patterns are also wonderful for wall borders:either on top of the wall next to the ceiling, or waist-high borders for mid-walls.
Here are a few new Art Nouveau patterns I made and are available on Color Bakery.
