An essential resource for any designer, crafter, artist, or
historian, The Complete Pattern Dictionary is the most
comprehensive, practical, and beautiful directory of patterns
throughout history, covering all periods, styles, and cultures.
Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of
motif, color, and scale. From the first rhythmic marks pressed onto
clay vessels, to the latest digital design, pattern-making has been
an essential part of the decorative arts since time immemorial.
With 1500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, The
Complete Pattern Dictionary is not only a visual feast, it is the
most comprehensive resource available on the subject. The book is
arranged thematically according to pattern type, with chapters on
Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric, and Abstract designs. Each
pattern includes the name of the pattern, the year of its creation,
and a brief description. The categories are supplemented by
in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers including
William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne
Day, and Orla Kiely, as well as sections detailing the
characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art
Deco.
