Hey, everything old is new again!

Art Nouveau (1890 – 1910)

Art Nouveau was a movement inspired by nature and organic forms. This style resisted using hard, straight edges and embraced curves and flowing lines found in plant life and floral structures. Art nouveau also incorporated a lot of earthy secondary colors to further associate itself with nature. The movement caught on so successfully that it not only encompassed design, but fashion, architecture, furniture and utensils.

Key features:

• Highly decorative, often employing the use of frames and floral themes.

• Earthy and pastel colors. Purples, Pinks, oranges etc.

• Intricate dark line work.
