The Art Deco movement marked a major turning point for Maison Isidore Leroy, ushering in a period of intense creativity and innovation. Driven by this new aesthetic momentum, the Maison multiplied the iconic patterns that shaped the 1920s and solidified its role as a leading publisher of Art Deco wallpaper.
In 2025, Art Deco celebrates its centenary. More than a style, it is an aesthetic manifesto that has crossed time with boldness and elegance.
At Isidore Leroy, this anniversary resonates in a unique way: the manufacture did not merely observe Art Deco… it lived it, produced it, and helped disseminate it at its peak. This collection pays tribute to a century of graphic creation, bridging historical heritage and contemporary excellence.
The year 1925 marked a turning point with the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, giving its name to a new style, radically different from the Art Nouveau movement that preceded it.
In the 1920s, the Isidore Leroy manufacture was operating at full capacity—a period of technical innovation, creative abundance, and international recognition.

Recognizing Art Deco wallpaper means understanding a precise graphic language:
Art Deco stylizes nature, making it graphic, almost architectural. It seeks visual impact and controlled elegance rather than softness.
To celebrate 100 years of Art Deco, Isidore Leroy drew from its heritage archives—true graphic treasures—to reissue or reinterpret emblematic designs.
This work is based on a subtle balance between:
Shan embodies the pure essence of Art Deco.
Derived from an original 1930 drawing, it features rhythmic fan motifs structured by perfect symmetry. Radically Art Deco yet timeless, it enhances a living room wall or an elegant office, particularly in silver or bronze/black tones.
Cyprins, created in 1925, is a seven-color gouache inspired by A. A. Séguy.
Its stylized fish and algae immerse us in a refined, dreamlike setting ideal for a sophisticated bedroom or a living room with a “revisited Haussmann apartment” spirit.
Frondaisons illustrates the evolution of the style in the 1930s:
Art Deco became denser and more vegetal while retaining its graphic structure.
Perfect for creating an enveloping, luxurious atmosphere, especially when paired with warm materials.
Art Deco works equally well in classic interiors and modern architecture, where it adds contrast and strong character.
Art Deco wallpaper is characterized by rigorous geometric forms (zigzags, fans, diamonds), perfect symmetry, and often metallic details (gold, copper). Unlike Art Nouveau, it structures and stylizes nature.
Yes. On the occasion of its centenary (1925–2025), Art Deco is making a strong comeback. It brings a “palace-style” elegance and bold character to modern interiors, perfectly paired with velvet, brass, and dark woods.
