A lot of this work is in the category of the decorative arts. The decorative arts are traditionally defined as ornamental and functional works in ceramic, wood, glass, metal, textile. The field includes ceramics, glassware, furniture, furnishings, interior design, and architecture. The decorative arts are often categorized in opposition to the "fine arts" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorative_art It's not really meant to be much more than decorative. |
