By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 25, 2007

From the exotic look of wood and hardware by Art Max to the streamlined curves of a new chair by Palecek, buyers will see some eye-catching Art Deco and Retro furnishings at the market here this week. Inspired by Paris and reawakened by more recent developments in Miami's South Beach, the look is hard to define but easy to recognize when you see it. Think surfaces that glitter, simple clean lines, opulent fabrics, and man-made materials like plastic and chrome. It's a style inspired by art, with pizzazz and energy, glamour and luxury. It been here since the '20s, and seems destined to be here for a long, long time.
