Art Nouveau was the dominant decorative movement at the turn of the 20th century, rejecting Victorian rigidity in favor of long, sinuous lines drawn from natural forms — flowers, vines, flowing hair, and water. Alphonse Mucha's elaborate theatre posters, with their botanical halos and muted lithographic palettes, remain the movement's most recognizable graphic expression.

This design system translates that sensibility into interface tokens: warm cream grounds recalling lithograph paper, muted sage and rose accents, ornamental serif typography, and flowing curves that echo whiplash arabesques. Every element favors organic elegance over mechanical precision.
