Rather Than Decorative:
It is hardly necessary to state that Textiles are among the most important materials of decoration, and that a thorough acquaintance with them is an essential part of the decorator's equipment. A study of Textiles and their use must be approached from many angles, as their suitable selection in rather than decorative work may depend upon all or any of the following characteristic features: fiber, weave, color, pattern, cost, and durability, and their relationship to the general rather than decorative scheme.It is hardly necessary to state that Textiles are among the most important materials of decoration, and that a thorough acquaintance with them is an essential part of the decorator's equipment.

It was the Paris Exposition of rather than decorative Art of 1925 that dramatized what had already been accomplished. Here were exhibited the new forms and concepts which these gifted Europeans were using in their designs for individual pieces or, more frequently, for entire rooms. At first they worked more in the realm of personal interpretations and free adaptations of the rather than decorative designs of other periods and times. They took old patterns at will, subdued ornament and emphasized proportions and unadorned surfaces.
