Characterized by its use of long, sinuous, organic lines and was heavily influenced by natural forms. This style often includes motifs of leaves, flowers, and swirling patterns, reflecting the natural environment, and it represents a deliberate rejection of the strict geometrical confines of the Industrial Age. Art Nouveau's impact on architecture and furniture design was profound and remains influential in modern art and design contexts, appreciated for its cohesive and accessible aesthetic that marries functionality with beauty. ***
