Art Deco Style encapsulated the wealth and influence of the industrial class at the turn of the 20th century. Combining modern ideas about shapes and elegance with glamorous materials and industrial processes, the movement came to represent the luxuries of a changing world. The Art Deco movement represented a variety of different styles, all governed by a series of principles: luxury, technology, and modernity. Above all, it was an extremely creative period, full of innovation and new ideas. With the rise of industry and the gradual decline of aristocracy, people in the middle and upper classes began seeking out luxuries. Using industrial technologies, Art Deco designers incorporated expensive materials into common pieces, from home radios to living room furniture.

While in Kettering Town today I noticed this interesting, but sad former cinema in the market square.
Clearly a 1930s 'art deco' design, but with a curious saucer on the tower.
There's a history of it at this link
https://heritagekettering.co.uk/the-granada-cinema/
Parade of shops with a brick built cinema type building in the centre. The cinema has a blue awning and there is boarding across the entrance with stylised writing saying 'I wanna dance with somebody' on it. There are planters and seats on the pavement in front of the buildings
