Art Deco
During the roaring 1920's the Art Deco movement began to take over. Although there was tension between the functionalists and decorators, many of the same characteristics came out of this time period including being strongly decorative and angular, an influence of Art Nouveau, and a use of zig zags, folding screens, large mirrors, and prominent lighting fixtures. The functionalists believed in mass production while the decorators strived for craftsmanship and handmade designs. The Art Deco design influenced the clothing industry and set a new everyday style. Some of the major designers during this period were Michel Roux-Spitz, Jean Dunand, Maurice Dufrene, Jean Michel Frank, Jaques-Emile Ruhlmann, Eileen Gray, Paul Frankl, Joesph Urban and Fredrick Kiesler.
