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.

Very beautifully made with very high-quality photos. I would add that the e-book format could have been done better - transit between pages and page split in general but its ok, it doesn't distort the information or images. I love this book and it's one of my to-go inspiration sources for my work. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Complete Pattern Directory: 1500 Designs from All Ages and Cultures - From Petal to Pattern: Design your own floral patterns.
