Owen Jones had it man, he knew what he was talking about when he said
“Construction should be decorated. Decoration should never be
purposely constructed.”

And in my mind this simply meant a design should be made for the purpose and that purpose only, and made to look pleasing after if there is time. not have something designed to look good and fit its purpose at a second rate. more or less I think of the rococo era which is just horrible and hurts my eyes and makes me wonder who was in charge of those design. for-shame to that person. an example being the chairs these photos show them starting from the rococo to now and being stylistic to purpose built

 this chair above has sparked allot of interest and question to is it decorated design or constructed decoration and to be honest it has many point swaying in both sides, my opinion however is that i believe it to be constructed decoration due to the fact that i wouldn't sit on it and feel it should be only viewed at.

  And finally this chair it the final product in thee design that has taken years. It is simple and yet it looks sleek and elegant.

I really really hate the curve! ( lucky i dont swear )
When i look at all the early pieces of work such as the candle sticks or whatever you want to call them.There horrible on the eyes, they tried to make something look flowing and out of nature but it just looks far to unnatural to be a piece of historic design. To me it seems like it shouldnt be able to even balance by itself. I find these pieces and most other so very ugly I fail to understand how it was good to have something like this in a house apart from the fact that they were gold or silver, something simple but gold would just have a far better astetic apeal.



On the other hand the art nouveau capital Riga I think looks so amazing. Because they have dulled down the horrible horrible looks of the early works.Everything there is curved and elligent but they are grided with straight lines its fantastic!

THE PENCIL

i think the pencil is one of the most important things to ever be a part of design. It has been part of every major building, bridge and all the other marvel we have created. And slowly through the ages it has been made sleeker and way sexier if you know what i mean.
