ART NOUVEAU....
AND ITS COLOURS

ART NOUVEAU

From the 1880s until the eve of World War One, Art Nouveau flourished across Europe.

It was a universal style intended to unify the fine and applied arts to create a Gesamtkunstwerk ('total work of art'). Everything from furniture to book illustration was influenced by its elegant organic forms.

Victor Horta, Belgian architect, one of its earliest instigators, heralded the modern movement of Art Nouveau architecture.

He conceived flexible, light and airy living areas, directly adapted to the personality of their inhabitants. For example, he designed and built a private residence from 1892 to 1893, called Hotel Tassel (photo above) It is generally considered the first true Art Nouveau building, because of its highly innovative plan and its ground-breaking use of materials and decoration

Today, we recognize Art Nouveau by its characteristic flowing lines, floral ornaments, whiplashes,  geometric forms and use of symbolic figures…….

…… AND ITS COLOURS

Art Nouveau focuses heavily on warm colors, with cool tones only used to highlight or accent.

Warm-coloured parquetry was often used in the Art Nouveau era. However, Horta used mosaic tiles in swirling S curved patterns on the floor of his Tassel house, but still used natural colours.

The fashionable colours in early 20th century were natural, white, yellow-orange, and light and medium brown with accents of olive, grey-blue and green.

ZIVA’S DESIGN CONCEPT
 

CUFF BRACELET
WITH ART NOUVEAU COLOURS

Based on our colour research of this period, we used warm colours in our cuff bracelet Art Nouveau design, called ‘ORANGE BRANCHES’.

We used a palette of medium brown, yellow orange and red-oranges with accents of a grey blue, and green.

Perfect for those who wear a lot of browns and greens!
