Manual of Design: Compiled From the Writings and Addresses of Richard Redgrave, R. A., Surveyor of Her Majesty's Pictures, Late Inspector-General for Art, Science and Art Department (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical guide to how ornament and function should shape good design. This book offers clear principles drawn from a long career in art and decoration, helping readers understand how to create beauty that serves use and construction.
Focused on the relationship between form, function, and material, it explores how ornament should grow from what is built, not added on top. It also compares traditional styles with modern production, and discusses the education needed to train both designers and craftsmen for better, more coherent work.
- How ornament should arise from construction, not hide or obscure structure.
- Balancing utility and decoration in furniture and household objects.
- Guidance on avoiding over‑embellishment and choosing appropriate styles.
- The role of education for designers and workmen in a changing industrial world.
Ideal for designers, students of decorative arts, and readers interested in how design and manufacture influence taste.
