one of the reactions to the 'naturalism' of the victorian era was art nouveau. the victorians applied the forms of nature onto the surface of their newly industrialized architecture and product design. the craft-oriented artisans of the art nouveau movement rebelled against this industrial production by developing furniture and architecture that was unable to be mass-produced but reflected their dedication to the crafted hand-made product.
the art nouveau movement used the underlying forms of the organic world in their work. for example, the art nouveau designer might have used the arch of the calla lily stem as the design theme for the support of a desk or bookcase. the organic forms were the basis of the design, not just applied to the surface.
it is this gracefulness of form that the period arts fan company has infused into the eclipse fan, integrating these sweeping forms into a beautiful room element. total height: 18"
