Art Deco Ceiling Panels in Melbourne from F. Vitale & Sons
The Art Deco era officially began with the Paris Exhibition of 1925 but it is generally acknowledged that its influence started soon after the end of World War 1 in 1918.
In architecture it flourished through the late 1920s through to the beginning Second World War in 1939 when the austerities of war produced a more utilitarian style.
Bold geometric shapes with ornament for ornaments sake typify its use in plaster mouldings. It does not pretend to derive its form from its function. It is all about style. We stock a range of stunning art deco ceiling panels for Melbourne homes of the era, as well as modern homes and buildings looking for the flair and modernism that only deco panels can bring.
This is where you can have some design fun. Over the top is the norm, bold shapes and starkly contrasting colours like black and silver can be used to create startling effects. A different cornice and ceiling panel can be used in every room. In some rooms the pattern of the cornice and ceiling panel can match, in others they can contrast.
In the hands of a skillful designer the result is beauty, impact and always "STYLE".
Pictures of panels in use can be seen in the gallery.
