# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Art Nouveau (Style, 1890s–1910s) and its accent from Bentwood (Thonet) (Technique, 1859–). Structural cues: Botanical curves; Ornamental frames; Female figures; Muted natural colors. Accent cues, used sparingly: Steam-bent curves; Reduction to few parts; Knock-down shipping; Lightness and mass production. Composition: Vertical formats, frame compositions, a central figure. Type and lettering: Curvilinear serifs or hand lettering. Let one material quality come from the second style: Steam bent beech screwed together, the finish keeping the grain visible. Mood: Luxury, Intimacy, Trust, Technology. Color: build on #e9ddbe, #829270, #6f3f35 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Art Nouveau: Stock vine ornaments stay superficial. Carry the line through the whole composition.
# - Bentwood (Thonet): Imitating only the curve in plywood or tube loses the logic of fewer parts, and a chair meant to look slender turns heavy and dull.
