Art Nouveau (French art nouveau – “new art”) is an artistic movement in art, the distinctive feature of which is the rejection of straight lines and angles in favor of more natural, natural ones lines.
We decided to pay tribute to this wonderful style and made a selection of the most elegant and impressive doors from around the world.
Art Nouveau style was not limited to architecture, fine arts, graphics and interior design. This trend also affected most decorative areas, including jewelry, textiles, accessories, silverware and other applied and utilitarian items. The Art Nouveau philosophy was for art to become a life principle. Thanks to this, many wealthy Europeans at the beginning of the last century had the opportunity to live in elegant houses with stylish interiors, to use household utensils and dishes, fabrics and cigarette cases, jewelry and clothing created as works of art. Artists of that time sought to embody the Art Nouveau style in all areas of life.

Although Art Nouveau was positioned as one of the modernist styles of the 20th century, it is today seen as an important transition period between the eclectic styles of the 19th century and modernism. Beautiful, isn’t it?
