Whilst a lot can change in a century, the insights from design into the social and cultural trends and changes that defined decades, continues to influence designers today. Here is a look at design from the 1920s to today.

Design in the 1920s

The 1920s marked one of the most important and exciting decades for the visual arts, and its remarkable influence is still felt across the design industry today.

The “roaring twenties” after World War 1 produced designs not seen before. Art Deco, originally a pre-war French creation, was a style defined by modernist, geometric designs and luxurious materials and colours, representing luxury, glamour, exuberance and optimism. Also, at the time was Germany’s Staatliches Bauhaus, which operated from 1919, through the 1920s which remains one of the most important and influential design schools in the history of the 20th century.
