Chinese Deco-dence

I have a passion for Art Deco and also for Asian designs and motifs. Chinese Art Deco was a movement that centered around the city of Shanghai in the 1930's and ushered in the modern era in China. Shanghai in the 1930's was a hedonistic and culturally diverse Capitalist city that was controlled by the England, France, and the United States. At that time, Shanghai was referred to as the "Paris of the East." The Chinese brilliantly incorporated their unique and prolific design style into the streamline forms of Moderne. Pagoda Red is one of the largest purveyors of Chinese Deco in the U.S. Their merchandise can be found online at http://www.pagodared.com/
