What is art deco?

Art Deco is the glamorous style of the 1920s and 30s: gold on dark colors, fan and sunburst shapes, stepped frames and strict symmetry. Think grand hotels, old cinemas and cocktail bars.

The sunburst is a repeating conic gradient with its center cut out by a mask. The frame uses a border and an outline together, with two rotated squares as diamonds at the top and bottom.

Good for

  • Bars, restaurants and hotels
  • Weddings and events
  • Jewelry and perfume brands
  • Theaters and cinemas
