The influence of the Art Deco style on architecture can still be seen in the hundreds of buildings constructed at the time, and two of the more famous and world renown are the Empire State building and the Chrysler Building in New York. The Art Deco style favors clean lines and stark modern colors. In the beginning of the Deco movement, the furniture was designed on traditional styles but was very opulent. Exotic and expensive woods such as amboyna were used and decorations included materials like ivory. Most of these objects were designed not only as objects of fine craftsmanship and art, but also for functionality. By the middle of the 1920s the taste for such flamboyant and expensive furniture started to wane. Modern materials like chrome and steel were included in the designs and the furniture became more streamlined and geometric. Many Art Deco designers had distinctive styles and their work is now valued and highly priced.
