# Pinnacles of Pattern

- Topic: Architecture Themes
- Format: topic
- Source: Architectural Icons Stories by Securex

Our most decorated items — covered in dense, geometric, riotously coloured artworks by Adam Nathaniel Furman. Pattern as architecture, surface as substance, ornament as protest against minimalism. Drawing on traditions from Islamic geometric tilework to Memphis Group graphics to Postmodern surface decoration, these pieces refuse the modernist demand that ornament be a crime, and instead celebrate the maximalist, joyous, hand-drawn pattern as a legitimate architectural language.
