I call this style of furniture "Metropolis". It is my version of Art Deco but I love that my machine like style is completely handmade. My hand-cut diamond appliques echo square-topped building rivets. Similar ones can be seen on the Chrysler Building in New York.
So, to me, my Metropolis pieces are a fight against the machines in some ways, but at the same time, they are a compliment to a style that was short-lived but incredibly beautiful.
Imagine this Living Room Suite in the same room as this Metropolis bookshelf.
