Art Nouveau.

Art Nouveau is personally, my favorite design style; I love the swirls and creative style of this design. Art Nouveau began around 1900 and this design style was very much inspired by nature, being organic, and William Morris.



Some characteristics of Art Nouveau were the rejection of the Victorian style, use of iron and glass, electric lighting, paintings and sculptures, and the nature inspired designs.

Belgium and France lead the Art Nouveau movement.

Victor Horta: Belgian architect and designer who was very involved with this moment and a very influential designer. Some of Horta's key elements were iron railings, mosaic tile on the floors, and stenciled walls and ceilings.
