The Rise, Fall, And Revival Of Art Deco | A Style Is Born W/

[@wayfair]

Not everyone can live in an Art Deco metropolis, but anyone can bring that Roaring 20’s style into their home with the right pieces! What are some of your favorite Art Deco furniture and decor items?

[@johnlomax2502]

My Tiffany style, art deco lamps.....

[@sherrinunya4079]

Lots of pieces in my home!

[@RichardNickels-ot6iq]

Fancy

[@UnrealPunk]

Wow, two new videos from Kaz on the same day!? We must be living in the golden age of youtube content. As for the question.... gotta go with that OG style

[@chris_troiano]

Wayfair, excellent choice to snatch Kaz for this series.

[@wayfair]

They're an amazing host. We feel lucky to have found them!

[@onbearfeet]

Here to learn with Kaz. 😍 I would never browse an interior design channel under normal circumstances, but I saw "Kaz Rowe" and "Art Deco" and I am HERE FOR EVERYTHING. This is a wonderful bite-size version of Kaz's style. Great choice, Wayfair!

[@crispycookie9739]

Absolutely agree! Kaz's research and delivery are *chef's kiss.

[@EmpressoftheLoneIslands]

One of my favorite hosts talking about one of my favorite design styles…? Yes, thank you!

[@NickMichalak]

Kaz is a wonderful host for you to have grabbed! They make some lovely and fascinatingly educational videos.

[@that_queer_one]

Just a heads up: Kaz actually uses they/them pronouns as far as I am aware! But I agree, they are awesome and I love their videos !

[@NickMichalak]

@@that_queer_one Thank you. I had a really rough day yesterday, so, my brain wasn't fully activated. I've corrected that.

[@anja7168]

Thank you very much for the informative video. Wayfair, you hit the jackpot with Kaz hosting your show. I prefer the original style.

[@calabriarose651]

This was wonderful Kaz! I can't wait to see more of this series from you 😊 And nothing beats the original! I love all the old art deco theatres, they're so beautiful. One of my favourite things about art deco is all the fine details.

[@EmpressCosplay]

Kaz is absolutely perfect! Also, I can't imagine how over the moon Nick Lewis must be for this Art Deco video 😂

[@Nick_Lewis]

haha I love it!

[@donnapecoraro3126]

the thing about art deco imo is that when a space is authentic it is unparalleled in drama, sophistication and transports you back to that time. The empire state building for example.

[@bernardkealey6449]

“Shotgun marriage of Bauhaus and Fisher-Price” made me laugh a lot. For me, no competition; OG.

[@jeremysmith4789]

Great hosting choice with Kaz, who should win some sort of award for being so entertaining and informative all while rocking the craziest topic-inpired fits imaginable. It's worth watching their videos just to see what they are wearing and how it ties into the overall theme. It just speaks to the level of attention and care they take with the chosen topics, which is exceedingly rare on the internet today but so very welcome.

[@MichelleSinTO]

Brilliant choice of host for this. Kaz Rowe is such an engaging presenter, I’d happily watch a video on the history & significance of the phone book! I love how Kaz knows how to take a massive subject, pull out the key features, present in an interesting & educational way. As for Art Deco style, as a child of the ‘80s, you know I have a soft spot for the Memphis style (which I never would have connected to being an art deco revival), but in terms of livability, I’d far rather be surrounded by the original Art Deco style. We have some wonderful examples here in Toronto; my favourites being the Ed Mirvish Theatre, College Park, & Tip Top Lofts.

[@lawdeedaw0803]

Absolutely! The quality and content of Kaz's videos have drawn me into a number of subjects that I was otherwsie either unaware or or disinterested in. Great choice for this series!

[@okayheykae]

Oh yay, I was just looking last week to see if there were any more of these, so I'm really glad it's back. I'm an fan of Ariel and it seems like I'm about to be a fan of Kaz, too!

[@christinae]

Well chosen, Wayfair! One of my favorite design styles with one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@connerbrooks4587]

Is it wrong if I say I fell in love with Art Deco through Bioshock? Rapture may be a hellscape, but it's a beautiful one

[@karltrag]

kaz this was so good. the editing, the outfit, the music!!!

[@mariavila8857]

Kaz was the perfect choice muah chefs kiss

[@codeearth9820]

There's a cinema in Paris called Le Louxor that I saw a lot. It's so ancient Egypt inspired that you can notice it from really far. Loved the video, as a design student I always love watching videos about different art movements. And naturally, a video from you is always a highlight of my day!

[@cseivard]

Thanks. This has been fascinating. In the mid- ‘80s, I lived in Brooklyn, Ny. Back then, Atlantic Avenue was lined with antique and furniture shops. It seemed that the forgotten splendor of “ Brownstone Brooklyn”, was now occupied by what had on been on display by its vintage antiques. Deco was prominent. I still regret that I never looked deeper. Perfect “round mirror “ vanities seemed to line the street! You would think that I could find a deco cocktail shaker at least! Alas,….

[@eastonmorton5927]

Kaz looks so dashing in this, I love the video, amazing stuff

[@crystalrowan]

Interesting! My husband and I just recently started watching Miami Vice (rewatch for him, first time for me) and I hadn't made the connection but now it's obvious how much of Miami's architecture in the 80s (and some of the interior design elements as well) were clearly art deco inspired. Fascinating!

[@stoplimitingme]

I had no idea Wayfair had such cool youtube content! Came here for more of Kaz's content and saw so many thumbnails that peak my interest

[@wayfair]

Stick around. More to come.

[@katiehaley2850]

Love to see you teaching more history on KZbin, Kaz!! I love Art Deco but haven’t been sure about the specific elements so I love this vid

[@sofdemi8042]

Came straight here from learning about Jane Addams! This was a really fun video. I love Art Deco.

[@miabecerra2611]

This is sick, so love getting more Kaz. Much love for Memphis style! That's where my design inspiration is leaning towards, although admittedly to the more pastel version of the late 80's. So hype to see what other styles you cover here :)

[@missvioletnightchild2515]

Wonderful to hear you talk about Art Deco Kaz! I'm a big fan of the OG style, and I'd never made the connection with the 80s, although it does seem obvious now that you've pointed it out 😅 I have small elements of it in my own home, especially the jewel tones mixed with metallics

[@lawdeedaw0803]

I was thinking the same thing. I loved that 80s style, but hadn't connected that to my love of Art Deco.

[@lynn858]

Good choice on choosing Kaz. I would never have watched this if I didn't already trust the host as someone who bothers to do solid research.

[@Nick_Lewis]

You know I love me some ART DECO!

[@wayfair]

Thanks for helping us spread the word!

[@laurendimke967]

glad to see Kaz!!!

[@mayramartinez4872]

amazing video, kaz is an excellent choice for this kind of series! very excited to see the rest 🫶🏻

[@kerisuri]

I've been a big fan of art deco since 2008, when I played the Hit videogame, Bioshock, it's my second favorite style behind art nouveau.

[@briefisbest]

Bless, history and interior design and Kaz. Excellent choice.

[@Bergerons_Review]

The greatest architectual style of all time!

[@rachiewildflower]

love this video! never knew wayfair did videos like this, will watch the previous set too! wonderful

[@angelacraw2907]

I don't know how I've missed this series. Thanks Kaz for telling us about this.

[@conbiniii]

yes!!!! so excited for kaz luv this

[@chriswalker810]

Art Deco was the design choice for Bioshock. Art Deco in my opinion is timeless and can be in style regardless what year it is.

[@triciahutchins5407]

Kaz, if you love art deco, you'll love the illustrations of Rockwell Kent. Give him a look... perhaps there will be a video about him in your future.

[@sydney9011]

Yaaaaay Kaz Rowe episode!!!!!

[@roli9091]

Gave it a like now, will watch later, quality is guaranteed with good ole Kaz.:)

[@rippingale100]

deco has been back in style over the last four years in the u.k,love it,so i managed to furnish my new flat in the reproduction deco style,wallpaper,curtains furniture etc,fab

[@satinthrone]

Fantastic episode, tyvm!

[@karenhollywood3523]

Definitely like the the OG Art Deco... both American and French. Incorporating it with a prominent presence amongst an eclectic design in my home. 🖤BLISS! 🖤

[@suzannecarter445]

I love this series! I hope you will keep it up and that it inspires people.

[@DriftWorn]

and this fellow humans is exactly how effective advertising is done now

[@csm92459]

As always--really enjoyed it. Some thoughts--I remember that the art deco style started to be "rediscovered" in fashion when the 1974 "The Great Gatsby" film and "Upstairs Downstairs" later seasons. AD decor got a boost with the the glitz of Disco in the late '70s then fashion again with "Brideshead Revisited" in early '80s. I was setting up my first apartments late '70s and you could still find deco household items relatively cheaply, but the high end antiques were beginning to get expensive and you could start to find whole antique shops dedicated to the style. The other thing you didn't mention is the slight shift from Art Deco to Art Moderne in 1930. It was more streamlined and horizontal (recalling transportation like ships and trains) rather than the vertical and decorated surfaces of the earlier Deco (Skyscrapers). Certainly the less ornamented Art Moderne was more appropriate for mass production (at a lesser cost) which would have made sense during the Depression. While it is sometimes considered a "phase" of Art Deco I think its relation to the economics of the '30s makes it worth mentioning. Always enjoyable and informative. (And I used to live in Chicago and "cut through" those buildings on cold winter days on my way to work!)

[@katecritt]

One of my favourite aesthetics, especially for architecture. Now that it's the 20s again, we have the perfect excuse to bring this back. Definitely the OG art deco style though, Memphis makes my eyes bleed.

[@jamestregler1584]

Thanks Kaz from old New Orleans.

[@bunnieandsugar]

I loved learning about the waterfall design furniture! I myself am a big fan of wooden furniture in warm colors that have rounded edges so it's cool to have a name for it! :3

[@abbyv7984]

KAZ! MY LOVE!

[@theresebohn8966]

Definitely OG! A friend of mine turned me onto in in high school (in the 70's!) If I could , I'd have one Art Deco Room, one Art Nouveau Room one Mid Century Modern room, and a 1940s kitchen!

[@harleygeneannett6547]

Caz is thw only reason I have subscribed to this channel

[@prsanfrancisco1688]

Kaz is wonderful and her research great and her presentations easy to follow. Love her!

[@naraiattila6109]

love it!!!

[@hythekent]

You are a great presenter! I refurbished my large apartment 5 years ago and incorporated stepped (deco) skirting boards and architraves, But I have mixed Deco with Nouveau and Arts and Crafts. Remember folks, there is no such thing as Art Deco, well, not it until it was given that name in 1968! The style was firstly called moderne

[@willemvandeursen3105]

Under-represented history, absolutely! 😊 ArtDeco-- my writing preference because the significance of the name is rather bland: 'Decorative art'-- it surprised me that it became so popular in America, which is a nation not particularly known for its sense of decadence and refinement. Their road restaurants and ice cream salons are missed opportunities! I always hoped that ArtDeco would know a retro phase one day, and yes, some of it is in the Revival you show. ArtDeco may be substantially influenced by ancient art, but what was designed and produced between 1920 and 1939 is still stunningly beautiful!

[@sharonbaker3007]

Yayyy Kaz!!!

[@lizmarin9568]

OG Art Deco for the win!!

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. A MUST WATCH!!!! ART DECO 101

[@joebaumgart1146]

My absolute favorite game to play is a trading cards game called Magic The Gathering. One of the universes in it is a place called New Capenna. It's a fantasy based roaring 20s world. There are a few sets featuring said world and there are special rare versions of cards called "Showcase Variants" these cards have alt art and overall card designs to be art deco themed. One of the 5 crime families that run New Capenna are Vampires that are a party people. Last year I went to a convention cosplayed as one of them with a deck of showcase cards based around their family. MTG is like Pro Wrestling, the best part is that there's something for everyone.

[@gerrygarvey1965]

Really enjoyed this. I love art deco. The clean lines and elegance is beautiful . Very well presented. My favourite art deco is the Chrysler Building. Thank you.

[@lawdeedaw0803]

Excellent video! I am currently living in an area of France where there is a lot of Art Deco as well as Art Nouveau and the more generic "Fin du Siecle" architectures and decor. I love Art Deco but have had a hard time explaining to my friends what it actually is. (I sometimes resort to quoting the U.S. Supreme Court's explanation of porngrapy - "I know it when I see it.") You've given me a new way of appreciating it and a way of descrbing what it is.

[@sarahwatts7152]

The Memphis style is great for a visit, but not forever. I'd probably lean more Art Nouveau over Art Deco, but I love them both

[@dimitriospapadopoulos1181]

This is a great video about Art-Deco and Kaz Rowe seems and sounds as if she has a master on style!!!

[@Al3ixhoveutot]

I love any style that brings back ornamentation and style. Although i'm more for rural Art Nouveau

[@MyWeirdNormal1]

It’s a struggle because I adore both Art Deco and Art Nouveau and Victorian design and how in the world do I marry all those vibes 😅😭

[@magicknight13]

Kaz!!!! Yay!!! ❤🎉

[@quinoa52]

I'm surprised you missed the Deco influence in the 70's. Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in the Great Gatsby had a huge effect in fashion. Baggy Cuff trousers, Geometric patterned sweater vests worn with bow ties. As well as fonts in advertising.

[@homemediaandcoinsgalore]

Wayfair, first you used the LSRSTAC SFX and now you used THE KC SFX!!!!!

[@shortcakeemoji]

art deco my beloved EDIT: MIAMI VICE MENTIONED RAAAHHHHH 🌊🌊🌆🌆🐊🐊🐊

[@anaerobic]

I love you and I love this!

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

I was in hs when Memphis Style hit. I didn't like it at all, but remember trying to understand why it happened at all. I do, however, appreciate OG Art Deco, when it's done with restraint, such as in the hit TV series Poirot. It's well represented there.

[@cwhitetkd]

I've seen a lot of memphis design in high street homeware shops lately. I wonder it's again a reflection of art deco, hoping for better times...

[@semajbmorrow5645]

Omg that’s my girl !!!!

[@dogdonut3]

Nick Lewis sent me here, and I'm glad!

[@Nick_Lewis]

yay!

[@comradeinternet467]

OG and Memphis are both great.

[@c.rutherford]

Detroit should be renovated as an Art Deco/Roaring 20s tourist city, as well as having the jazz nightclubs. It can still be done. If someone builds it.... they will come.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ON EVERYTHING!!!

[@florinivan6907]

Art deco reflects the optimism of interwar society. Since the Great War WW1 had been called 'The War to end all wars' there was a certain hope in the mid 20s that such events would not happen anymore. And architecture had to reflect that in some form. Alternatively brutalism reflects the pessimism of postwar society.

[@romulus4395]

First, I have that very picture of the lady in the green dress behind you reflecting in the mirror! Answer me this if you can please - can you combined art deco style with industrial style? Can those two styles merge together?

[@kabigael317]

I like the idea (but not necessarily the execution) of waterfall furniture. What is a "Ryan" voice (see Jane Addams video)?

[@djungelskog132]

[@naraiattila6109]

[@angelhelle198]

Well done.

[@devroombagchus7460]

Great subject, but presented at supersonic speed. I gave up after a few minutes.

[@michaelcain9324]

OG ❤

[@agathep1738]

I know the condensed aspect of this video doesn't allow much detail, but it's a bit of a shame that most of the examples cited come only from the United States, @ 6:46 : "old music halls and concerts theaters from *all over the world*" and the only two examples are from NYC and California. Or @ 3:08, where women's right to vote is mentionned : it would have been nice to specify that this was only in the US. The fact that it's written from an American perspective could be counterbalanced by wondering how this educational content is percieved by non-American viewers / who don't have knowledge of every big moment in US history.

[@andgainingspeed]

I would welcome welcome a new kind of art deco driven by a forward looking energy. Maybe it'll fully realize the "smart everything" technology with design nods that marry artistic flourishes and form/function? No thanks to just homages to the past and most definitely leave "tropical deco" as just history. 😐

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Some of the shown decors were art nouveau, though, not art deco..

[@johnbehneman1546]

ART DECO RENISANCE!!!!

[@AAWagner]

Art Deco did not segue to mid-century modern. There was 30s moderne and 40s permutations before mid century really came about. But it seems as though she is sticking moderne into Art Deco so it seems a matter of broad definitions

[@jeemjeem6190]

Wayfair? For Deco? No thanks. If you want real Deco you have to look for it. Yard sales, flea markets, antique stores and Craigslist. Just keep your eye open and take your time. I found 2 Deco floor lamps from the 20's with Native American motifs this way.

[@mdc3148]

2:53 yeah the Victorians never included women

[@Chreck]

The link to expressionism is a little far of. Rather then embarrassing the technical development as you can see in the usage of steel and emphasising ornaments and natural elements, expressionism tried to get rid of all this, being more critical and pessimistic regarding its current political and social change and technical development toward a brighter future.

[@Kompost-gh2db]

you are beautiful
