Riassunto

The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is the world’s greatest museum of art and design, with a vast collection that been an unparalleled resource for designers for 150 years. This new series of pattern books presents the range of the V&A’s superb collections. Beautifully designed, accessible, and informative– perhaps a little quirky – they are a repository of ideas for designers of all kinds, but also a collection of desirable gift books. Included in each volume is a CD of all the images shown within--to be redrawn, reworked, or even licensed for further use.  The books are available individually or in a beautiful decorative slipcase.

Product Description:

"V&A Pattern: Kimonos" displays some of the best Japanese textile patterns at the V&A, ranging over 200 years from the early nineteenth century. "Novelty Patterns" showcases the innovative and fanciful decoration employed for lightweight fabrics made between the early 1920s and the late 1940s. "Secret Garden" shows - mainly British - plant-form patterns from 1880 to 1910, and "Owen Jones" features the breadth of the Victorian designer's work, from his passion for Islamic decoration to his influential work, "The Grammar of Ornament", first published in 1856.
