In his work "The Principle of Ornament," James Ward explores the importance of ornamentation in design, defining it as the addition of forms or colors to enhance the beauty of an object or surface without changing its fundamental shape or essence. This week on The Curio Aesthete, we are introducing a new segment dedicated to ornamentation and discussing how the Louis Vuitton Monogram embodies Ward's ideas about ornamentation. The Monogram enriches Louis Vuitton products' surfaces while maintaining their original form and identity, adding a touch of beauty and brand recognition.
