Adelphi’s
Early-Twentieth Century Collection draws on the work and influence of
the Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna and the French Moderne movement--later
known as Art Deco--two of the most influential design schools of the
century. Designers in Vienna and in Paris inspired and influenced a
generation of designers throughout Europe and the United States, who
created a huge variety of patterns that combine fantastic organic and
geometric forms with a vibrant color palette.
Spiral Willow's bold, flowing design is a
typically whimsical Art Deco take on natural forms, but with a striking
color combination. It was designed by Rene Crevel and
originally machine-printed, although the printing process used rollers
fitted with felt strips, to which paint was applied, in an effort to
approximate high-quality block printing.
