| Art Deco Style Granite Art Deco design developed as a response to the forced graveness prevalent during World War I. Art Deco is defined by opulence and lavishness, with a festive character that is transmitted by the shapes and materials used. Zigzag and stepped forms as well as sweeping curves are regularly used in Art Deco design. If, for example, you have a multi-tiered countertop in your kitchen, one of the granites found below will be the perfect finishing touch for an Art Deco inspired design. The granite itself is playful and festive, further adding to the design. |
