Vanity with mirror c. 1929 - 1932

Norman Bel Geddes's "Vanity with mirror" (c. 1929-1932) is a prime example of Art Deco design. The vanity features a sleek, streamlined form with geometric details, epitomizing the style's emphasis on modernity and machine aesthetics. The vanity's pale yellow finish and chrome accents create a sense of elegance and sophistication, characteristic of Art Deco's fascination with luxury and glamour. The vanity, paired with a simple chrome stool, embodies the Art Deco movement's focus on functional yet beautiful design. This piece, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the spirit of the era and continues to be admired for its timeless appeal.
