Los Angeles Art Deco Crown Molding
The Art Deco style seemed to be the antithesis of the design movements of the
past. Popular culture embraced the symmetrical modern designs; Art Deco was the
antidote to the austere designs of the Revivalist and Victorian traditions. Art
Deco’s streamlined forms were the opposite of yesterday’s elaborate detail;
simplicity was received as the ultimate in modern design.
Sadly, the Pan-Pacific Auditorium in L.A.’s Fairfax district is no longer
standing, but in its prime was an eye catching structure that typified art deco
architecture: it was incomparable to anything ever seen in architectural design
before. The expansive building was modified with the streamlining typically used
to convey motion and speed. This resulted in an impressive industrial look to
the structure only enhanced by the four towers, making the Pan-Pacific
Auditorium look less like an auditorium and more like an airport terminal with a
cutting edge design.
The uninterrupted slope of the Los Angeles cove molding softens the hard edges
of the room with its streamlined design, but adds refined interest where the
edges rest on the ceiling and wall surfaces. Whether extended onto the ceiling
to give an illusion of height, or extended down onto the wall creating a cozy
felling, the cove molding produces a “domed” effect to the room. Extremely
versatile in design, Los Angeles cove molding is an elegant choice for the Art
Deco, Modern, Contemporary, or even Traditional interiors.
This molding is manufactured from made of High Definition Polymer System (HDPS). |
