Twee decoratieve ontwerpen 1874 - 1945

"Twee decoratieve ontwerpen" is a pair of design drawings by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, a Dutch architect and designer, and is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The drawing on the left is a detailed, colored version of the design, showcasing intricate, symmetrical motifs reminiscent of Art Nouveau or Jugendstil. The right side presents a line drawing, offering a simplified, schematic perspective of the design. This dual approach to the design process was common in the early 20th century, allowing architects and designers to visualize and refine decorative elements before their implementation in architectural or decorative projects.
