Nouveau Organic

ヌーヴォー・オーガニック / late 1980s–mid-1990s / Style / Furniture and Interiors

A late-1980s and 1990s revival of Art Nouveau, Catalan Modernisme, and organic architecture in restaurants, furniture, and lighting. Plant lines become bone-, shell-, cave-, and sea-creature-like structure rather than applied surface decoration.

Continuous surfaces suggesting bone, shell, leaf, or cave / Columns, furniture, and lights sharing one organic contour / Opal glass, forged metal, mosaic, and molded resin / Blue-green, amber, ivory, and deep violet jewel tones
