More than a style, or even a movement, Art Deco has always been a state of mind, driven by a quest for the sublime. It is fascinating how, a century after its beginnings, aesthetes and collectors continue to gravitate toward designs that embody its spirit and savoir-faire, recognizing its singular DNA.
At Invisible Collection, we have been seeking out contemporary designers and artisans who follow in this tradition while expressing a new and distinctive voice.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the seminal exhibition, the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes — widely considered the founding moment of Art Deco — has inspired a wide range of cultural initiatives exploring its impact and legacy. In Paris, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs has staged a fascinating exhibition encompassing all fields influenced by the movement, from fashion to jewelry and design. Invisible Collection, in collaboration with Féau Boiseries, presented Period Rooms of the Future, a striking display of rare, original décors from the late 1920s to the 1940s, used as a backdrop for ultra-contemporary furniture. Meanwhile, in New York City, Sotheby’s will auction Art Deco masterpieces from the Jean and Terry de Gunzbourg collection — a true journey into creativity and exceptional savoir-faire, featuring iconic pieces by Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, André Groult, and Jean Royère, to name but a few. Ultimately, the eternal return of Art Deco reminds us that the quest for the sublime is never bound by time, but endlessly reimagined by each new generation.
