ORNAMENT IS NOT A CRIME BOOK

An escape from minimalism that celebrates bold colors, curves, patterns, and the unconventional in contemporary interiors.
The distinctive features of the 1980s postmodernists are returning, such as visual language, bold colors, and unexpected materials. Following decades of minimalism, mid-century modernism, and Scandinavian design, a new wave of architects and designers is experimenting with form, scale, and symbolic references to add expression and meaning to interior and furniture design.
Playing with themes of postmodernism, sometimes consciously, sometimes by chance, the creatives prove once again that form doesn not have to follow function, that less is not more, and that ornament is not a crime. These twentý-one homes from around the world transform the everyday with playful prints and colors, the juxtaposition of materials, and the celebration of surfaces. Bold and charming, with a healthy dose of wit and whimsy, Ornament Is Not a Crime is for anyone looking for bold inspiration for their home.
