Art Deco Office

Characteristics of Art Deco Office Furniture.

An Art Deco office is easy to put together. Whether you are working in a corporate environment or working at home in your jammies, you might like to surround yourself with some classic Art Deco furniture and accessories.

Art Deco Desks

Art Deco desks were typically made of exotic woods like mahogany, ebony or satinwood. For the cost-conscious consumer, a desk of oak, ash or redwood would also be an option. A gorgeous Rhulman desk can be found on auction sites, antique furniture stores or even on ebay.

Rounded corners, high-gloss finishes and metal handles are typical of Art Deco style.

Another option would be to go with a more glam, mirrored desk.

Art Deco Bookcases

Marquetry was a very popular art techinque used in art deco bookcases, as well as desks. Think about incorporating a bookcase with an intricate, geometric design in the wood. All the better if it has a high-gloss lacquer finish.

Art Deco Office Chairs

Choose a leather art deco office chair in a classic colour like black or white, or go for full-on-deco-drama with a bold coloured chair. Make sure to choose a classic Art Deco color to create an authentic look.

Art Deco Accent Furniture

To complete the look, add some gorgeous deco accent furniture. A secretary in a rich mahogany or even a luxury high-gloss chess table.

Art Deco Rug

To add comfort to your office, lay down an art deco rug with an angular geometric pattern. Classic art deco patterns are zig-zags, chevrons, sweeping curves and sunbursts.

Art Deco Lighting

And finally, finish off the look with some classic Art Deco lighting. A skyscraper desk lamp or dramatic hanging chrome light fixture would be fabulous.
