Decorative luxury in its most beautiful form
If you want to live as sophisticatedly as the “Great Gatsby”, choose marble and high-gloss lacquered furniture, velvet and silk fabrics for your interior design. Precious metals, mother-of-pearl, chrome and exotic woods exude sophistication and add a touch of luxury. Deep black elements create exciting contrasts to statement colours such as petrol blue or pink.
Sophisticated tableware
The Art Deco period was characterised by a pursuit of aesthetics and beauty, which was expressed in glamorous festivities. That is why tableware plays a central role in this living trend. Retro glamour comes to the table with abstract, geometric decorations on the finest porcelain, which becomes the stage for exquisite dishes. Oysters, truffles, champagne... only the best is good enough to celebrate life.
Contemporary design with an Art Deco attitude: that's the best way to describe “MetroChic” by Villeroy & Boch. The geometric decoration brings the classic colours of black and gold to pure white porcelain. The interplay of the individual pieces creates an exciting ensemble – modern luxury for individual arrangements. The “MetroChic” collection also includes gift items such as étagères, vases and lanterns.

Precious materials such as gold, silver, copper and brass play a major role in Art Deco. Without them, the elegant interior look would not be complete. A bar trolley on which drinks can be served in style is essential, as are extravagant home accessories that add stylish accents and provide conversation pieces. Particularly beautiful: thanks to a special coating process (PVD = Physical Vapor Deposition), cutlery and other items are now also available in exciting colours such as black or champagne.
Miami-style Art Deco
The United States developed its own version of Art Deco, with Miami as its “capital”. Around 1,000 buildings in this distinctive style have been preserved in the Art Deco Historic District. The architecture is characterised by flowing, somewhat more playful forms. Round corners and façades in mint green, pink or yellow reflect the Sunshine State's attitude to life. The added lightness of pastel colours corresponds perfectly with the pastel trend.
