One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau. Historian Bevis Hillier defined Art Deco as "an assertively modern style ... [that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material ... [ and] the requirements of mass production ". During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamor, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
