Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Really fun trivia that deconstructs—literally—patterns: polka dots, stripes, plaids, florals, all the way up the scale of sophistication to a brief foray into fractals. This is engaging stuff, and the best part is that you'll never run into the issue of where to use all these good factoids, history, and etymology—just take a look around. Mental-Flossy in scope but well-organized and enjoyable; recommended. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
We wake up in the morning and put on our striped socks and our plaid shirts, sit down to breakfast at a gingham tablecloth, perhaps eyeing the wallpaper with its fleur-de-lis. Patterns are everywhere--yet they can go unnoticed. In fact, every pattern is a story, a surprisingly deep trove of historical information and cultural associations. Jude Stewart, author ofROY G. BIV: An Exceedingly Surprising Book About Color, brings her same sprightly sense of humor, sparkling personality, and roving curiosity to this cultural history of patterns. From camouflage to keffiyeh, plaid to paisley, slipping out of the Carmelites' scandalously striped mantle and into an itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikini,Patternaliaplumbs the backstories of individual patterns, the surprising kinks in how each developed, the parallels between patterns natural and invented, and the curious personalities these patterns accrue over time. Boldly designed by Oliver Munday and cleverly cross-referenced,Patternaliais pure pattern pleasure: a beautiful object and a dazzling read that will appeal to anyone interested in design, fashion, and the cultural history buzzing all around us.
