Art Deco is often associated with luxury. From 1920 to today, this style of interior design is for an elite. It is also a movement characterizing the design of industrial societies and associated with an idle and urban lifestyle. The aim of Art Deco was twofold: on the one hand, to distance oneself from the heritage of Art Nouveau, and on the other hand to innovate by creating a functional art adapted to the needs of modern life. At that time, many artists were experimenting, while industrialists were opening up to art. Works of art were often intended for an elitist clientele.
