Sinopsis

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.

Excerpt from 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

In undertaking this compilation, I have confined myself almost wholly to his own words. Indeed, nearly all the matter might be placed in inverted commas. I have studied to arrange and bring together like things in the order and upon the plan which my father has in most cases pursued, to avoid the repetitions which would naturally arise in such a series of documents, and to omit only such matters as had a local and temporary interest.

Excerpt from 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

During Mr. Redgrave's long and active service in connexion with the Schools of Art and the foundation of the South Kensington Museum, from which he has so lately retired, as well as in his appointed duties relating to the International Exhibitions in this country and in France, he was called upon to prepare numerous official reports. On many occasions, also, he was required, when presenting medals and prizes to the Students, to address them on the course of their studies, and on the technical training of the designer.

His reports and addresses defined and formulated many new principles of ornamental design, and contained various practical suggestions concerning the methods upon which his system of teaching had been founded. The chief of these documents which have been officially printed, are: -

1. Report on Design. Exhibition of 1851.

2. Report on Design as applied to Manufactures. Paris, 1855.

3. Report on Applications of Drawing and Modelling to the Common Arts. Paris, 1867.

4. Report on the present state of Design. Annual International Exhibition, 1871.

5. Evidence before the Commission, on the Government School of Design, 1847.

6. On the necessity of Principles in teaching Design, 1853.

7. Catalogue of Cabinet Work, Gore House, 1853.
