Cutting-Edge Patterns and Textures

Cutting-Edge Patterns and Textures by Estel Vilaseca, published by Rockport Publishers in 2008.

113 unique and original patternsAfter a goldmine of cultural and subconscious information, the history of patterns parallels and informs the history of humanity. After decades of modern minimalism and clear lines, people are enjoying a return to more playful design, rich in colors and textures. Pattern-making and pattern design, in particular, has made a major comeback as a way to embellish a surface with their use often displaying unexpected depths. Indeed, we have witnessed a revival in enriched, traditional motifs, and seen them applied in thought-provoking ways, in an unlimited variety of designs and textures.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves art and design.
