His glass design shows his preference for circles, clever use of lines and superb skills in flower pattern processing. Commonly used patterns are the reflection of natural flowers, leaves, plant branches, butterflies and other winged insects in milky white texture. In addition, the furniture he designed, like his glass design works, is mainly decorated with exotic plants and insects. The blooming flowers and the entanglement of flowers and leaves constitute the unique surface decoration effect of these works, which has the characteristics of symbolism. He often uses joinery inlay technology for decoration, which makes his furniture exquisite and elegant. His most famous furniture design is "Sleeping Butterfly Bed" designed by 1904.

Rene. Larik's design achievements are mainly reflected in jewelry. His works are the best testimony of the exquisite and luxurious French art nouveau style.

In addition, his choice of materials is also imaginative, including imitation gems, colored gold, enamel, irregular pearls and translucent corners. The female body is another theme that Larik likes to use in his design. The female body on the jewelry is beautifully carved and lifelike. For example, in 1895, among the exhibits he sent to the French artists' salon, there was a particularly charming dragonfly jewelry. Larik decorated this unusual brooch with a naked female body. This is the first art nouveau jewel decorated with naked women, and it soon became the object of imitation by designers from other European countries.
After Larik, Ouren has made great achievements in the field of Art Nouveau jewelry design. Grasett. The jewelry he designed is unique, original, full of passion, imagination and dreams. One of the most famous works is "Sylvia" pendant. It is made of plant patterns, metal-free enamel and freshwater pearls.

His posters outline objects and people with lines and choose the theme of daily life, which makes people feel cordial. The most original is his exaggeration of characters, clever arrangement of words and characters, strong contrast and so on. What about alfons? The posters and posters designed by Moussa are called the most outstanding graphic designers in Art Nouveau because of their strong Art Nouveau characteristics: curves, natural forms, high decoration and graphic effects. According to incomplete statistics, Musha designed nearly 100 posters in his life, and his style blended with many influences. The elegant outline and bright color blocks of Japan combine the geometric decoration of Byzantine and Moorish art. These posters reveal Byzantine style, featuring idealized female images surrounded by angels, palm leaves and mosaics, and raise advertising posters to the height of works of art (Figure 3-9). For example, the poster he designed for "Jane Avril" at 1893 is the most typical example of this style.
As for Hector? Kyle's works embody the highest achievement of French Art Nouveau architecture. His most important design is a series of entrances to the Paris subway system. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was commissioned by the Paris Municipal Government to design the subway entrance, exceeding 100. These building structures are basically made of bronze and other metals. He gave full play to the characteristics of naturalism and imitated the structure of plants for design. The ceilings and railings of these entrances imitate the shapes of plants, especially twisted branches and twisted vines. The ceiling is deliberately shaped like a shell, which is amazing! Entrance, railings, signs, columns and electric lights constitute a harmonious mixed landscape of organisms and abstract shapes.
