Cubism discovers its decorative potential within the Art Deco aesthetic, when transposed from the canvas onto a textile material or wallpaper. [[Sonia Delaunay]] conceives her dress models in an abstract and geometric style, "as live paintings or sculptures of living forms". Cubist-like designs are created by Louis Barrilet in the stained-glass windows of the American bar at the [[Atrium Casino]] in [[Dax, Landes|Dax]] (1926), but also including names of fashionable cocktails. In architecture, the clear contrast between horizontal and vertical volumes, specific both to Russian [[Constructivism (art)|Constructivism]] and the [[Frank Lloyd Wright]]-[[Willem Marinus Dudok]] line, becomes a common device in articulating Art Deco façades, from individual homes and tenement buildings to cinemas or oil stations.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Criticos|first1=Mihaela|title=Art Deco sau Modernismul Bine Temperat - Art Deco or Well-Tempered Modernism|date=2009|publisher=SIMETRIA|isbn=978-973-1872-03-2|page=51|url=|language=Romanian, English}}</ref><ref name="Goss" /><ref name="Art Deco Style" /><ref name="Art, Design and Visual Thinking">{{cite web|url=http://char.txa.cornell.edu/art/decart/artdeco/artdeco.htm |title=Art, Design and Visual Thinking |last=Jirousek |first=Charlotte |year=1995 |access-date=7 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202040916/http://char.txa.cornell.edu/art/decart/artdeco/artdeco.htm |archive-date=2 December 2008 |url-status = live }}</ref>{{Sfn|Duncan|1988|page=8-10}} Art Deco also used the clashing colours and designs of Fauvism, notably in the work of Henri Matisse and [[André Derain]], inspired the designs of Art Deco textiles, wallpaper, and painted ceramics.<ref name="Goss" /> It took ideas from the high fashion vocabulary of the period, which featured geometric designs, chevrons, zigzags, and stylized bouquets of flowers. It was influenced by discoveries in [[Egyptology]], and growing interest in the Orient and in African art. From 1925 onwards, it was often inspired by a passion for new machines, such as airships, automobiles and ocean liners, and by 1930 this influence resulted in the style called [[Streamline Moderne]].{{Sfn|Duncan|1988|pages=7–8}}
