One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau.

[ and] the requirements of mass production ". During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamor, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
