A practical guide to how ornament and function should shape good design. This book offers clear principles drawn from a long career in art and decoration, helping readers understand how to create beauty that serves use and construction.
Focused on the relationship between form, function, and material, it explores how ornament should grow from what is built, not added on top. It also compares traditional styles with modern production, and discusses the education needed to train both designers and craftsmen for better, more coherent work.
Ideal for designers, students of decorative arts, and readers interested in how design and manufacture influence taste.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This guide on principles of ornamental design is an exhaustive manual drawn from the writings and lectures of design authorities. The author explores the sources of style, discussing its important elements, and examines how ornament is applied in architecture, furniture, and other objects. The chapters also cover the history of design, going back to early civilizations and exploring the evolution of decorative forms. The author's insights reflect a Victorian fascination with nature and its application in ornament. The book makes clear that decorative art must be subservient to the purpose of the design and must have regard to construction and utility, prior to the consideration of its ornamental decoration.
