Deco 22 creates a sleek and anti-traditional elegance through the design and creation of products paying homage to the simple, clean lines of the Art Deco movement. At the heart of Deco 22 is a desire to celebrate fine craftsmanship, creating quality pieces that are not for a season, but for many years to come.
