Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”

And after looking into it, I think they’re 100% correct.

@cmconseils Which is why I am clearly of elven descent.

Big Nouveau fan. Less so of Deco - while I appreciate it is stylish clean and elegant, I always feel it lacks the sense of the Blessed Realm that I find in Nouveau
