Principles of decorative design

Rate this book
Written as a series of essays, this book aims to aid those who seek a knowledge of ornament as applied to industrial manufacture. The author believes that ornament depends on form and form is determined by function. A pioneer of functionalism, a precursor of Art Nouveau, the author's designs have a timelessness, an assurance and certainty that have rarely been equaled.
