Art Nouveau

For the past few months I've been extremely interested in the Art Nouveau movement. I love the sense of flow and nature incorporated into designs from this period...
 "Art Nouveau Ring" (Jewelobsessed)
 "Designed by Alphonse Marie Mucha for Georges Fouquet, 1900" (Beautiful Century)
"Interior of the Tassel House, 1893" (NGA)
"Jugenstil Doorway for the Gluckert Furniture Company, 1901" (Doorways of the World)
  "Carlo Bugatti Desk, 1902" (Metropolitan Museum of Art)
