VISUAL TECHNIQUES

 Dondis' Visual Techniques most evident in the bed's braided blankets include intricacy, irregularity, and exaggeration as the textiles are made up of heavy, large braids that differ in size and length.

The Kotori Chair (kotori meaning songbird) was featured at this year's Tokyo Design Week by mizmiz design. The Textured fabrics and wooden base of the chair are a fine use of contrast, as well as accent and episodicity between the chairs themselves.

The blankets depicted first differ from the chairs above because they contain an element of harmony in that they are made up of the same dyed and woven fabric. The textiles of the chairs change between each chair, offering an episodic and contrasting appeal. The chairs on the left are made of leather backs while the chairs on the right are backed with a dot-textured, white fabric. The wooden seat and legs of the chairs also contrast the leather and fabric backs. However cohesive the blanket's material is, the actual braided physicality of the blankets are more irregular and spontaneous versus the predictability of the chairs. The blanket's are the opposite of manufactured as their braids vary in size and length and appear to be the locks of many Rapunzels.
