DSDN 171 blog post 3

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.
