What inspired the geometric patterns in art deco design?

The geometric patterns in art deco design were inspired by various sources, including the Cubist movement, the Bauhaus school, and the ancient Egyptian and Aztec art. These sources emphasized the use of clean lines, symmetrical shapes, and geometric forms, which were integrated into art deco design to create a distinctively modern and sophisticated style. Additionally, the Art Deco movement emerged during the industrial age, which influenced the use of machine-made shapes and materials in the designs. The combination of these influences gave birth to the geometric patterns that are now synonymous with art deco design.
