The story is told over three large rooms; each room depicting art deco exhibits from different continents around the globe. The distinctive drama and glamour of the exhibits on display and the vast scale of some of the objects, made it essential the interior elements to the rooms were strong in supporting and evoking the theme and objects but not crowding or competing with it. Hence the simple but architecturally strong arrangement of back lit horizontal and vertical planes that created dramatic metallic backdrops and luminous stages for the showcases, objects and video footage throughout the three spaces.
