This kitchen is located in the Majestic, an apartment building located on Central Park West in New York City. Architect Irwin S. Chanin designed the Majestic building, which was completed in 1931. It is a prime example of Art Deco architecture, characterized by its bold geometric forms, decorative motifs, and sleek, streamlined design.
In many aspects, this entirely new kitchen draws inspiration from the practical essence of early 1930s kitchens. These kitchens prioritized functionality and efficiency. They featured clean lines, sleek shapes, and minimal embellishments. This design approach in Art Deco kitchen interiors became a trend in the Art Deco movement, which embraced forms inspired by technological advancements.
The incorporation of red hues in Art Deco kitchens was common. It provided a bold and lively contrast to the era’s sleek and geometric aesthetic. Here, we have utilized red extensively in a dedicated pantry area, elevating the design impact significantly.
