An "Art Deco" Adaptation From The Great Gatsby to the Present

       


       A Pinch of Modernism,

A Pinch of Cubism,

A little bit of Ancient Egypt,

And Introducing "Art Deco" ...

Art Deco is a trend of individualist art and decoration that chose geometric lines, zigzag and circular styles in Europe of the 1920s.

The first place that comes to mind when it comes to its birth, of course, is France.

Art Deco, which developed in construction, architecture, interior design, later became effective in the USA.

The Great Gatsby, Art Deco Affair

The Great Gatsby is a movie adapted from the 1925 novel F. Scott Fitzgerald.

It was directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke.

Its connection to art deco is Gatsby's "art deco" style house, or rather its castle, which knows no bounds in luxury. The Great Gatsby movie crowned its success by winning an Oscar and also ensured that the “art deco” style was born from the ashes.

Modern Art Deco Style

The Great Gatsby movie is set in the 1920s, so it is not 100 percent compatible with today's designs. Therefore, it has not lost its luxury and quality in the past, but it has changed by adapting to the times.

Looking at today, the art deco style bears more masculine traces than before and is applied in more minimal spaces appropriate to today, not in large castles.

With the rapidly rising acceleration of technology, the increase in material quality and variety, very stylish art deco designs are emerging today. I

Huge steps have been taken in construction and architecture, and therefore in art deco applications, as the human being was able to put all the products he imagined into concrete.

Stuck between bohemianism, modernity and a bit of tradition, art deco turns the place where it is applied into a small art gallery, as its name suggests. From walls to floors, from curtains to accessories, from sculptures to carpets, every product on display is like carefully selected works of art.

Art deco is expensive compared to other style suggestions, but after application it will amaze everyone and your style will be talked about among people.

Art Deco Application

Art deco is more of geometric forms and aerodynamic design. Therefore, you should not include too many curved images.

Use Gothic ornaments, circles, triangles, oval corners, sharp vertical lines.

Art Deco likes luxury, but you can make you feel that you are spending big money by using quality materials, not exaggeration.

It is a trend that loves color in its existence, but there are not many colorful examples in today's combinations. Your main theme should be black and white in Art Deco.

If you want to design a living room in an art deco style, you can use the steps below.

1-Floor and Wall

In the art deco style, which is a magnificent and cold decoration style, you should use bright marble, ceramic and granite with geometric patterns on your floor.

You should take care that the ceramic you will use is bright.

You should choose designs with 1920 spirit on it. Or you can use ceramics with geometric shapes. There are very good examples in Vitra.

On your wall, you should also use wallpapers with sharp lines.

Those who do not like wallpapers can paint their walls white and enliven them with paintings.

Those who do not want a white image will paint the columns and beams in smoky-like colors and not spoil the cold atmosphere.

If you are designing a hotel lobby or shop, you can also cover the walls with geometric shaped shiny tiles.

You can find wallpapers and paint materials at Koçtaş. However, if you work with an architect or engineer, it will produce more qualified results.

2-Furniture, Carpet and Accessories

You should choose black, white glossy lacquered or dark wood furniture.

If you want an art deco style, you should avoid light color (light brown) furniture.

You can reflect the combination of coolness, simplicity and luxury with dark armchairs made of characteristic fabrics such as leather and velvet, satin glossy cushions with gold and silver embroidery.

In Lazzoni furniture you can find armchairs and simple "art deco" furniture in white lacquer.

You should also choose black and white tones with sharp lines on the carpet.

Although zebras are used a lot, using slightly different models will reflect your style. In fact, for more different designs, you can be a bit bold and use animal skin instead of carpet. If you love animals, you can choose imitation products.

Glass tables with shiny chrome legs are the complementary product of the art deco design. Even if it is small, you should prefer a glass table with chrome legs.

As for the accessories, if you have painted the walls white, you should definitely use black-and-white pictures with a white frame, if you prefer black-and-white pictures with a black frame, or vice versa.

One of the features of the art deco trend is shiny accessories and mirrors, you can put shiny chrome, steel accessories, metallic artworks and mirrors throughout the space. You can find a wide variety of these products at Paşabahçe and Mudo stores.

3-Lighting

When it comes to luxury, the first thing that comes to mind is sparkle, so you should use lighting everywhere. The lighting elements you use should never contain wood because the brown wood color will give the environment a warm atmosphere and will distract our design from art deco.

Using shiny chrome and brass metal chandeliers, black wall lamps and lampshades will keep you in the art deco line.
