Art Deco turns 100


Art Deco turns 100 this year, and Wallpaper celebrates it by highlighting some art deco buildings around the world in this piece.

All those art deco buildings are great, but for me, the Chrysler Building in New York is still the greatest. CNN has a fine feature on it, here. (More material on this New York City masterpiece, here.)

I highly recommend you check out both the Wallpaper and the CNN piece not just for the excellent photos, but for the in depth histories of the art deco era and the buildings that era produced.
