Art Deco style is often noted for its harmonious combination
of contrasting designs. Sharp angles, juxtaposed with gently sloping lines, is
just one example of the visual balance that art deco is renowned for.
In South Beach, the Art Deco architecture of The Cadillac hotel incorporates
contrasting design elements that result in perfect visual balance. It is
streamlined vertically, giving the building a modern, futuristic look. However,
the sharp angles of the building’s carport extend to span the width of the
building’s base, and in conjunction with the stepped rise of the building’s
height, balancing its dimensions. The Cadillac’s look is almost mythic, and its
aura is one of stability and permanence. Reminiscent of a temple or tower
constructed by the ancients, The Cadillac’s design combines the styling of the
future and the past, and the modern and antique.
This unique Art Deco molding combines a broader step design with a sloping,
rounded line. This crown molding's design allows for two installation options:
extended onto the ceiling, the stepped design seems to continue on, lending to
the illusion of a recessed ceiling. If Miami crown molding is extended down the
wall, it softens the sharp edged corners of the room, and gives a graceful
“layered” look.
Miami crown molding is made from high density polyurethane. |
