Art Deco Exhibition Paris: One Hundred Years of Style at the MAD

1925-2025: The Art Deco Exhibition Celebrating a Century of Elegance

Paris is preparing to celebrate an exceptional anniversary: the one hundredth anniversary of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, the event that gave Art Deco its name. To mark the occasion, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD) is presenting a must-see landmark exhibition. It's a unique opportunity to rediscover this style, which profoundly marked its era with its geometric lines, precious materials, and timeless elegance.

 

Art Deco: An Aesthetic Revolution Born in Paris

Art Deco is, above all, a desire for modernity. Born in reaction to the flourishes of Art Nouveau, this style favors symmetry, clean lines, and geometric patterns (chevrons, zigzags, fans). It is a movement that touched all fields of creation: architecture, furniture, fashion, jewelry, and even tableware. The MAD exhibition traces this fascinating history, from its peak in the 1920s to its legacy that still influences designers today.

 

The Derby Alma: A Setting Inspired by Art Deco Elegance

Your stay in Paris to discover this Art Deco exhibition will find its perfect echo at the Hotel Le Derby Alma. The hotel, which celebrates the "Art de Vivre du Couturier" (the Couturier's Art of Living), shares many values with the Art Deco movement. Indeed, the 1920s were a pivotal period when Haute Couture underwent a true revolution, with designers like Coco Chanel and Jeanne Lanvin liberating the female body with straight, fluid, and elegant silhouettes.

Art Deco and the fashion of that era share this same love for pure lines, noble materials, and a sophisticated sense of detail. By staying at the Derby Alma, you won't just be in a hotel, but in a world that extends the spirit of the exhibition: one of structured elegance, discreet luxury, and a modernity that spans the decades.

 

What to See at the "1925-2025" Exhibition?

The exhibition at MAD Paris promises a rich and immersive experience. You will discover iconic furniture pieces by Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, glassware by René Lalique, lacquerware by Jean Dunand, as well as fashion creations that perfectly illustrate the "flapper" silhouette of the Roaring Twenties. The exhibition design will highlight how this style, born in Paris, conquered the entire world, from New York to Shanghai.

  • Location: Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD), 107 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris.
