Is less really more? In reaction to the reign of Minimalism, designers, artists, and architects are rediscovering the power of patterns and embracing d�cors once rejected as superfluous, by covering lamps, chairs, rooms or entire fa�ades with stripes, polka dots and ornamental designs.

This definitive overview is the book that launched the new trend in publications about patterns. Using examples of contemporary work by internationally renowned designers such as Fabio Novembre, Claesson Koivisto Rune and Karim Rashid, by architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Steven Holl and Sauerbruch Hutton, and artists such as Bridget Riley and Gerhard Richter, it lays out a kaleidoscope of colours and forms before the reader. Multidisciplinary approaches and applications, and new interpretations of traditional motifs are illustrated, as well as the impact and influence of technical innovations such as laser engraving and digital milling on the creation and realization of patterns today.

Synopsis

Is less really more? At long last, designers, artists, and architects have rediscovered the evocative effect of patterns, and are paying homage to decors once rejected as superfluous, by covering lamps, chairs, or entire rooms with stripes, polka dots or camouflage designs. Many - such as the Rotterdam based designer Jurgen Bey - are interpreting traditional motives anew. This book, presents for the first time, various multidisciplinary approaches to patterns, showing the many functions decors can fulfil. Using examples of contemporary work by internationally renowned designers such as Tord Boontje, Michael Lin, Olaf Nicolai and Sauerbruch & Hutton, the diversity of colours, shapes and applications are laid out before the reader, illustrating the impact and influence of technical innovations such as laser engraving and digital milling on patterns and our perception of them.
