Art Deco Sofas

ART DECO STYLE

Art Deco furniture is characterized by its celebration of modern life. More than its emphasis on natural wood grains and focus on traditional craftsmanship, vintage Art Deco dining chairs, tables, desks, cabinets and other furniture — which typically refers to pieces produced during the 1920s and 1930s — is an ode to the glamour of the “Roaring Twenties.” 

ORIGINS OF ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGN

CHARACTERISTICS OF ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGN

  • Bold geometric lines and forms, floral motifs
  • Use of expensive materials such as shagreen or marble as well as exotic woods such as mahogany, ebony and zebra wood
  • Metal accents, shimmering mirrored finishes
  • Embellishments made from exotic animal hides, inlays of mother-of-pearl or ivory

ART DECO FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW

VINTAGE ART DECO FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS

Few design styles are as universally recognized and appreciated as Art Deco. The term alone conjures visions of the Roaring Twenties, Machine Age metropolises, vast ocean liners, sleek typography and Prohibition-era hedonism. The iconic movement made an indelible mark on all fields of design throughout the 1920s and ’30s, celebrating society’s growing industrialization with refined elegance and stunning craftsmanship.

Widely known designers associated with the Art Deco style include Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Eileen Gray, Maurice Dufrêne, Paul Follot and Jules Leleu.

The term Art Deco derives from the name of a large decorative arts exhibition held in Paris in 1925. “Art Deco design” is often used broadly, to describe the work of creators in associated or ancillary styles. This is particularly true of American Art Deco, which is also called Streamline Moderne or Machine Age design. (Streamline Moderne, sometimes known as Art Moderne, was a phenomenon largely of the 1930s, post–Art Nouveau.)

Art Deco textile designers employed dazzling floral motifs and vivid colors, and while Art Deco furniture makers respected the dark woods and modern metals with which they worked, they frequently incorporated decorative embellishments such as exotic animal hides as well as veneers in their seating, case pieces, living room sets and bedroom furniture.

From mother-of-pearl inlaid vitrines to chrome aviator chairs, bold and inventive works in the Art Deco style include chaise longues (also known as chaise lounges) and curved armchairs. Today, the style is still favored by interior designers looking to infuse a home with an air of luxury and sophistication.

The vintage Art Deco furniture for sale on 1stDibs includes dressers, coffee tables, decorative objects and more.

Timeless Elegance: Art Deco Sofa from 1920s France, Recently Upholstered Ivory
Located in Boven Leeuwen, NL
Lose yourself in the timeless splendor of this exquisite Art Deco sofa, crafted around 1920 in vibrant France. Recently refurbished, this sofa radiates in all its renewed glory, adorned in a soft ivory-colored fabric. The woodwork has been bestowed with a beautiful light linen hue, enhancing its allure.

Every detail has been meticulously crafted, with careful attention to the characteristic lines and shapes that define the Art Deco style. A masterpiece in its own right, the sofa has been recently (a few months ago) upholstered in a plush, ivory-colored soft fabric. This choice underscores the timeless beauty of the piece, offering a luxurious spot to unwind. The fabric's delightful texture invites moments of relaxation and comfort. The subtle contrast between the ivory upholstery and the light woodwork creates a harmonious balance that enhances the overall aesthetic of the sofa. While bearing the marks of its age, the sofa's minor signs of use, as visible in the photos, attest to its well-preserved history. These slight traces of aging add character to the piece and reflect the timeless beauty inherent in vintage furniture. They serve as a reminder of the countless stories and moments this sofa has witnessed, imbuing it with a unique and charming aura. With its stunning Art Deco heritage, fresh makeover, and subtle signs of use, this sofa is a rare find that has stood the test of time.
