Description
London Art Deco offers a detailed look at the style's presence in London's buildings and decorative arts. Following its prominence at the 1925 Paris Exposition, the Art Deco style evolved differently across nations, with Great Britain adopting an imperial aesthetic. This is evident in the Savoy Hotel's imposing design and the ornate detail of West End theatres. The book showcases many surviving examples of London's Art Deco buildings, now clean after being covered in indigenous Portland stone. These structures demonstrate Britain's love of intricate details. With its rich illustrations, the book provides a fascinating exploration of the style from building design to decorative elements. London Art Deco is a visually engaging and informative guide to this architectural and decorative movement.
