Art Deco is a style of Visual Arts, Architecture and Design that first appeared in France just before World War I. Art Deco influenced the design of Buildings, Furniture, Jewellery, Fashion, Cars, Movie Theatres, Trains, Ocean Liners, and everyday Objects such as Radios and Vacuum Cleaners.

It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes' (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It combined Modernist Styles with fine Craftsmanship and Rich Materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented Luxury, Glamour, Exuberance, and Faith in Social and Technological Progress.

Art Deco was influenced by the Bold Geometric Forms of Cubism ; the Bright Colors of Fauvism and of the Ballets Russes ; the Updated Craftsmanship of the Furniture of the Eras of Louis Philippe and Louis XVI ; and the Exotic Styles of China and Japan, India, Persia, Ancient Egypt and Maya Art. It featured Rare and Expensive Materials, such as Ebony and Ivory, and exquisite Craftsmanship.

In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, the Art Deco style became more subdued. New Materials arrived, including Chrome Plating, Stainless Steel and Plastic. A more sleek form of the style, called Streamline Moderne, appeared in the 1930s ; it featured Curving Forms and Smooth, Polished Surfaces Art Deco is one of the first truly International Styles, but its dominance ended with the beginning of World War II and the rise of the Strictly Functional and Unadorned Styles of Modernism and the International Style of Architecture that followed.

The Hotel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris bears the signatures of distinguished personalities : Stanislas FISZER for the Original Architecture, Layouts, Volumes and Façades, Jacques GARCIA and Alexandre DANAN for the Interior Design, and Olivier RIOLS for the Green Spaces. After years of research and work, with the help of Ruhlmann´s working drawings graciously provided by Emmanuel BREON, Curator at the Boulogne Billancourt Musée des Années 30 (Museum of the 1930s), the Hôtel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris called on many Craftsmen for the bespoke Creation of each Decorative Element from Drawings or Photographs.
