Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of
motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the
regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a
flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it
depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the
branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell -
pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us.
Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de
vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages
and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive
compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with
chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract
designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth
features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich
history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay,
Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with
sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles
from Baroque to Art Deco.
