Art Nouveau's Influence on Contemporary Hospitality Design
An article on ArchDaily examines how Art Nouveau principles—craftsmanship, natural materials, and ornamentation—are being revived in contemporary hospitality spaces. The movement, which flourished around 1900 with regional variations like Arts and Crafts in England, Jugendstil in Germany and Austria, and Art Deco in France, emphasized artisanal value, wood, glass, and metals, as well as organic forms and geometric patterns. These elements now appear in modern hotels and restaurants, blending historical detail with current design trends.
