The public clamour for Art Deco goods – compounded by the booming economy, the rise of mass production and the intensified cultural focus on luxury and opulence – created something of a perfect storm for popular consumerism.

Inextricably linked as it was with commercialism, the Art Deco movement became defined by the Futurist philosophy, “speed is beauty”. The pace at which these items were produced, purchased and placed in homes epitomised the rapid acceleration of life in the 1920s.

These stylistic trends influenced domestic interior design in numerous ways. Burnished metals and cherry or mahogany panelling became a popular choice for public-facing rooms, often offset by low-slung, light-coloured furnishings.
