"Ornamentontwerpen" is a design sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dating back to 1897-1898. The piece showcases two detailed designs for wrought iron railings, showcasing a preference for intricate, organic patterns. The designs feature a blend of geometric and flowing lines, suggestive of plant motifs, common in Art Nouveau design. This sketch reveals Cachet's interest in decorative ironwork, a prominent feature of Dutch design during this period. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
