Art Deco Web Design?

Do you know some web sites sporting an Art Deco or Roaring Twenties web design? I find that period (the Swing and Jazz age, where Gangsters were still stylish) very fascinating, and I'm looking for things to get inspired.

Art Deco is usually described as being "simple shapes, geometric, vibrant colors", which would fit to web design restrictions quite well, wouldn't it? Other important aspects seem to be the use of materials; which obviously isn't really possible in web design (mind you, textures are only a bad approximation).

If you know some sites where you'd say "this is Art Deco Webdesign", please let me now via EMail, erich (AT) debian (DOT) org

[Update: Web Designer Wall has a list with a couple of nice pages. Not all of them are Art Decoish or Roaring Twenties, but some a pretty nice.

I'm looking particularly for Art Deco and Twenties, but any Vintage and Retro Design can be inspiring.

And I'm not looking for pages to blindly clone, but to get some inspiration from. I don't copy, since I do pages in my own particular (XMLish) way anyway.]
