Deco Ground

Art Deco style, short for Arts Décoratifs, is characterized by rich colors, bold geometry, and decadent detail work. Having reached the height of its popularity in the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, the signature aesthetic still evokes glamour, luxury, and order with symmetrical designs in exuberant shapes. Whether it’s the rich bold pattern and colour combinations of the flooring or the relaxed contemporary furniture styles, the aim of this 1250sft 3BHK apartment for a young couple at Worli appears to be opposites attract with a sophisticated sensibility. The colour of the flooring alone does not complete the space, a careful understanding of the room’s fundamental components where each piece of furniture has some relationship to the other by colour, form or finish. There is an intentional contrast between the colourful flooring and the monochromatic walls with hints of art deco elements as seen on the temple screen or the dining table lights. There is a balance between simplicity of form and the decorative elements. This home is our quirky, yet avant-gardist interpretation of Art Deco.
