The decades around the turn of the 20th century marked a profound change in the understanding of design. Artists, craftsmen, and designers moved away from purely historicist forms and turned to new ideals: nature, modernity, and function.
Art Nouveau (approx. 1890–1910)
Art Nouveau breaks with old forms and takes its inspiration from nature. Organic lines, floral motifs, and materials such as brass and glass create an artistic, harmonious aesthetic. Ideal for buyers who value originality and handcrafted design.
Art Deco (approx. 1920–1940)
Art Deco combines glamour with clarity. Geometric shapes, mirror glass, chrome, and high-quality woods characterize the luxurious style of the interwar period. Collectors appreciate the modern, clear, and at the same time elegant effect.
Bauhaus (1919–1933)
Bauhaus stands for functionality. Tubular steel, glass, and clean lines enable affordable, durable design. Buyers are particularly interested in the rational design and timeless character.
