The Birth of Art Deco: Ruhlmann and the Hôtel du Collectionneur, 1925

As his starting point for the aesthetic we have come to love as Art Deco, French furniture and interior designer E.-J. Ruhlmann’s pavilion at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes presented the fair’s most celebrated displays and thereby began our enduring appreciation for the international design idiom.

This book celebrates the 1925 Paris Exposition—at its centenary—a landmark event that shaped twentieth-century design and gave its name to Art Deco. The exposition dazzled over sixteen million visitors during its run, showcasing the pinnacle of French luxury goods and design innovation.
