The Art Nouveau movement of architecture and design first appeared in Brussels, Belgium, in the early 1890s, in the architecture and interior design of houses designed by Paul Hankar, Henry van de Velde, and especially Victor Horta, whose Hôtel Tassel was completed in 1893. It began as a reaction against the formal vocabulary of 19th-century European academic art, eclecticism and historicism, and was based upon an innovative use of new materials, such as iron and glass, to open larger interior spaces and provide maximum light; curving lines such as the whiplash line; and other designs inspired by plants and other natural forms. The early Art Nouveau designers in Brussels created not only ar…

Furniture created in the Art Nouveau style was prominent from the beginning of the 1890s to the beginning of the First World War in 1914. It characteristically used forms based on nature, such as vines, flowers and water lilies, and featured curving and undulating lines, sometimes known as the whiplash line, both in the form and the decoration. Other common characteristics were asymmetry and polychromy, achieved by inlaying different colored woods. The style was named for Siegfried Bing's Maison de l'Art Nouveau gallery and shop in Paris, which opened in 1895. It was usually made by hand, with a fine polished finish, rare and expensive woods, and fine craftsmanship. Luxury veneers were used…

Art Nouveau ( AR(T) noo-VOH; French: [aʁ nuvo] ; lit. 'New Art') is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, especially the decorative arts. It was often inspired by natural forms such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or whiplash lines, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron, glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.

The Change in Interior Design in 19th Century Ottoman Architecture. Art Nouveau Season Panels. With the start of the era of Westernization in Ottoman architecture at the beginning of the eighteenth century, Western architectural styles began to display a dominant influence in both facades and in interior decoration. The imported architectural styles from Europe were a cultural dynamic that steered a change in Ottoman architecture, continuing to impact design trends up until the end of the nineteenth century. Particularly with the advent of the era of Sultan Abdülhamit II (1876-1909), Ottoman architecture revealed imprints of the Neo- Classic, Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic, Orientalist, Eclectic,…

The Style of the 1890s: Art Nouveau design in New Zealand Architecture. The influence of Art Nouveau on New Zealand architecture has generally been considered to be negligible but its impact was nevertheless significant during the period from 1890 to the outbreak of the First World War. Across a wide range of building types, from large scale public buildings to modest houses, Art Nouveau-inspired door pulls, dados, embossed ceilings, leaded glass and tiles abound. This paper explores the largely hidden presence of Art Nouveau in New Zealand architecture of this period and considers the reasons why buildings that otherwise have little connection with the style incorporate features that are o…

Victor Pierre Horta (French: [viktɔʁ ɔʁta]; Victor, Baron Horta after 1932; 6 January 1861 – 8 September 1947) was a Belgian architect and designer, and one of the founders of the Art Nouveau movement.
