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.
Grille is from Adelphi’s archive; although printed by a well known French firm its designer is unknown. The pattern shows how a straightforward grid (French grille) can be transformed as an Art Deco design. By using undulating lines, adding whimsical “bubbles,” and using metallic bronze with a palette of vibrant colors, the result is anything but an ordinary geometric grid.
