Art Deco Product vs Hollywood Regency
Hollywood Regency is the cross-discipline counterpart of Art Deco Product — shares the luxe, glossy, geometric glamour of Deco objects.
Art Deco Product
Luxurious modern objects of the 1920s–30s — bold geometry, sunbursts, and exotic veneers in lacquer, silver, and ivory — that made machine-age modernity glamorous and ornamental.
- Bold symmetrical geometry — sunbursts, fans, chevrons, and zigzags
- Luxury materials: lacquer, shagreen, ivory, macassar ebony, silver
- Stylized, streamlined motifs of flowers, animals, and the human figure
- Stepped and faceted volumes with crisp polished surfaces
- Geometric reduction of tableware and objects to pure solids
Hollywood Regency
The glamorous, theatrical interior of old Hollywood — high-gloss lacquer, mirrored and brass surfaces, bold jewel tones, and a touch of Regency formality scaled for the silver-screen lifestyle.
- High-gloss lacquered walls and mirrored or brass surfaces
- Bold jewel tones — emerald, sapphire, black, hot pink
- Curvaceous tufted furniture and faux-bamboo or Chinoiserie accents
- Greek-key, fretwork, and neoclassical trim used with wit
- Crystal chandeliers, oversized mirrors, and confident symmetry
