Art Deco is a design movement that originated from France in the 1920's and appeared globally at the start of the 1930's. It had a heavy influence on all styles of design including architecture (as shown by the Chrysler building in New York, image above) and the visual arts such as film and graphics. It is a style that represents aspects such as elegance and modernity with its structure being based on mathematical geometric shapes (also evidenced in the image above).
I especially like this design movement as it is heavily referenced in one of my favourite games Bioshock. I agree that the design represents elegance as the shapes relate well to each other and look very pleasing to the eye. I also like the fact it has had such an influence on future design, especially interior design.
