The decorative arts in the 1920s and 1930s, given a fresh lease of life by the Paris International Exhibition of 1925, experienced a boom that was to shape the lifestyles of a whole generation, and French artists and designers found themselves at the very centre of these developments. The worlds of interior decoration and fashion went through radical changes that were both influenced by and reflected in the textiles of the day.
Hundreds of full-colour photographs bring to life Art Deco textiles from museum collections and manufacturers' archives and with them the age when craftsmanship and industry worked side by side.
This stunning volume will provide endless inspiration to designers and students, and enthrall anyone keen to discover the key role of textiles at the cutting edge of Art Deco style..
