French Art Deco Club Chair, Heart Chair by Dominique

"...As a movement, it has now assumed its rightful place in the vocabulary of fine design history, and it's clear that today's designers are heavily influenced by Art Deco's line and form. The original Art Deco speaks today to a desire for harmony and refinement, for opulence combined with quality, for the seduction of a rich color palette and the home as a personal expression and a respite from a frantic world."

~ Gary Calderwood, from a recent interview
