Art Deco - The Age of Glamour and Geometry is a deeply researched yet delightfully conversational journey through one of the most dazzling design movements in history. Written in Pranav Pandya's engaging, reader-friendly voice, the book invites you into the radiant world of the Jazz Age-where geometry met glamour, and modernity found its most elegant form.
From the mirrored lobbies of New York and Paris to the pastel seafronts of Mumbai and Miami, every chapter blends storytelling with scholarship, revealing how Art Deco transformed architecture, fashion, film, and everyday life. Rich with insight yet approachable in tone, it captures the optimism, artistry, and rhythm that defined a century of design.
The volume features thirty bespoke visual plates, created exclusively for this edition. These luminous, photo-realistic illustrations bring the era's artistry to life-each one a tribute to the craftsmanship, light, and balance that shaped Art Deco's identity.
Complementing the main narrative are twelve fascinating appendices, each offering a deep dive into a different facet of the movement: its architects, artisans, motifs, materials, global landmarks, and enduring legacy. Together, they transform the book into both a work of reference and a lively companion-informative, immersive, and endlessly rewarding.
Beautifully written, visually rich, and meticulously researched, Art Deco-The Age of Glamour and Geometry is not just a history of design, but an experience of it-a celebration of how light, form, and imagination once defined an era, and how that brilliance continues to inspire the modern world.
