Art Déco is the style of the grand gesture: opulent, geometric, glamorous, and possessing an elegance that continues to inspire today. Art Déco-style lights are no ordinary lamps – they become style-defining eye-catchers in any room. At Saasil, you will find primarily opulent Art Déco-style table lamps, complemented by wall and recessed lights in gold and brass.
Typical features of the Art Déco style
Art Déco emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, combining geometric rigor with luxurious opulence. Typical elements include fan shapes, sunburst and zigzag patterns, symmetrical geometries, as well as noble materials such as gold-plated brass, opal glass, and chrome. The color palette is high-contrast: black and gold, cream white and brass, bronze and chrome.
Where do Art Déco lights work best?
In the living room, an opulent table lamp on a sideboard adds a glamorous accent. In the dining room, a gold wall lamp next to a buffet enhances the festive atmosphere. In the bedroom, an Art Déco bedside lamp brings a touch of luxury to your evening routine. In the hallway, a fan-shaped wall light creates an elegant first impression. In the study, a brass desk lamp combines function with style.
Combining furniture & materials
Art Déco harmonizes particularly well with velvet upholstered furniture, marble surfaces, brass details, large mirrors, and high-gloss finishes. These materials pick up on the glamorous character of the lights and intensify the room's overall opulent effect.
Which colors suit the Art Déco style?
Typical color combinations are black and gold for maximum contrast, white and brass for a lighter, elegant variation, dark green and gold for an especially refined touch, and navy blue and bronze for a deep, luxurious mood.
Materials
Glass and crystal provide sparkling light reflections, as seen in our crystal table lamps. Brass and chrome stand for the style's characteristic elegance. Velvet and marble complement the lights as furniture and surface materials, rounding off the Art Déco look.
Art Déco or Modern – what is the difference?
| Art Déco |
Modern |
| Glamorous |
Minimalist |
| Gold |
Black |
| Geometry |
Minimalism |
Both styles rely on clear geometric forms but differ significantly in their impact: Art Déco thrives on opulence, gold, and decorative details, whereas the modern style focuses on reduction, clean lines, and restrained colors.
Which light color suits the Art Déco style?
Warm white light at around 2,700 K suits the Art Déco style perfectly, underscoring the golden, glamorous material effect of brass and crystal most impressively.
Decoration in the Art Déco style
In addition to lights, large mirrors, vases, lanterns, and crystal objects are part of classic Art Déco decor. You can find a suitable selection of vases and lanterns in our corresponding collections.
These lights match the Art Déco look
Table lamps are the focus of our Art Déco selection: opulent, detailed, and a true statement on a sideboard or desk. These include the Organza design LED table lamp with black fabric shade in chrome, the regal Organza crystal table lamp in bronze, the large Dresden brass table lamp with pleated shade, the curved dimmable Apples design table lamp, or the classic SIMON table lamp with white fabric shade and chrome. For a particularly striking statement, the 34 cm cylinder table lamp in gold leaf look is ideal. → To the table lamps
Art Déco-style desk lamps combine function with elegance, such as the Lomia dimmable LED desk lamp in matte brass.
Wall lights add elegant golden accents to the wall, like the swiveling LED wall light in gold, warm white. → To the wall lights
Recessed spotlights in gold or brass subtly complement the Art Déco look and provide even ambient lighting that highlights the decorative fixtures, such as the set of 3 square brass-gold recessed lights or the flat, round brass-gold recessed spotlight set. → To the recessed lights
For the finishing touch, the MAIA glossy copper lamp shade is also suitable. We do not currently carry chandeliers or classic multi-arm fixtures in a designated Art Déco design in this collection – for larger hanging lights, it is worth taking a look at our general pendant light collection.
