ART DECO IN LA

argyle_at_night When it comes to Art Deco, LA is one city that embraces the style wholeheartedly. 

Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1925 until the 1940’s.  At the time, the style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional and modern.  The style is based on mathematical geometric shapes, but is considered eclectic because it draws its inspiration from a variety of sources.  Recently, Art Deco has experienced a revival, and appreciation for the style has soared.

From historical hotels, theatres, homes and even the city hall, Art Deco can be spotted all around LA.

GIBSON INTRODUCES FORNASETTI!

NY TIMES ASHTRAY



To add to our already diverse showroom, we have brought in a number of cool Fornasetti pieces to accessorize the home with. These are highly collectible and give any living space a fashionable facelift while adding a point of interest.





Piero Fornasetti was an Italian painter, sculptor and interior decorator who was heavily influenced by Greek & Roman architecture. He is most known for featuring the woman’s face as a motif on many of his designs. Although Piero passed away in 1988, his son, Barnaba Fornasetti, continues his father’s tradition. Stop in and pick up one of the many unique pieces we currently have on display.
