deco

Twenties design movement

Deco is an informal shortening of art deco, the decorative style of the 1920s and 30s characterized by bold geometric forms, rich colors, and lavish ornamentation: The building has gorgeous deco details, a deco lamp.

The clipped form appears frequently in design and real estate contexts. (Capitalized Deco is a variant spelling.)
