Scenic designer and architect David Rockwell designed his 36th Broadway show this season: “Fallen Angels.” His concept for the revival of Noël Coward’s farce has earned Rockwell his seventh Tony Award nomination. Of all the sets Rockwell has designed, he told Broadway News that “Fallen Angels” was the most challenging — making the nomination all the sweeter.

Here, Rockwell describes the calculated research he conducted to create the 1920s Art Deco set, and he points out the feminine-inspired architectural details for this female-driven comedy.
