ROCOCÒ
Rococo, an ornamental style that developed in France under the reign of Louis XV, was an evolution of the Late- Baroque style and was perfectly in tune with the carefree aristocratic life of that time. Looked on by the English as a “representation of the French taste”, the Rococo style can be characterised by the joy, delicacy and grace of its light but intricate patterns.

EPOCA
The Louis XVI style, a French decorative expression of the XVIII century, became well known in 1760 and well diffused during the reign of Louis XVI, from whom it takes its name. The caharacteristics of this style, of an affected and refined taste, are the polychrome inlays and elegant relief, modelled with figures and decorations drawn from ancient art, not only Greek and Roman, but also Egyptian and Oriental.

LIBERTY
Art Nouveau became widespread in Europe and the United States between 1890 and the First World War. This style is particularly characterised by nature-inspired motifs, the so-called “whiplash” motifs, formed by dynamic and undulating lines that transform structural elements. And so, simple figures seem to come to life and evolve naturally into forms similar to plants and flowers.

TIFFANY
The Liberty artistic movement gave rise to the Tiffany style, immediately recognizable by the characteristics glass inserts. The author of this variant was Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist and designer and son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, co-founder of the famous jewellery Tiffany & Co. In his Glass Company, incorporated in 1885, he produced glass mosaics using a tin solution with spectacular and unique lighting effects that distinguish the sumptuous ornamentation of those years.

ART DÉCO
Art Déco is an eclectic style, which finds inspiration in a variety of fonts: from “primitive” art to the sculptures and vases of Ancient Greece, the scenes and costumes of Léon Bakst in the Russian Ballet designed for Diaghilev, and the severe forms of Neoclassicism. The wide use of zigzag and chequered shapes, and “V” and sun ray motifs, characterise this artistic vein.

NEW ART DÉCO
From the “creative pencils” of the Linea Calì designers a new interpretation of Art Déco has been created. From the style used for the famous transatlantic “Normandie” and “Ile de France”, in a process of natural stylistic evolution, the lines and forms have been softened thus giving new life to this unique style.
