Designed to do for nature-inspired design what the Pantone Shade Card did for colors, the Nature of Form handbook captures and carefully documents as many as 1454 forms, patterns, and colors, all pulled from flora and fauna.
The book was created by a group of multidisciplinary designers to act as exhaustive reference material for biomimetic design. By breaking down a variety of natural examples by form, pattern/texture, and color, the handbook puts all the nature-based form inspiration you need at your very fingertips. Created to help designers and artists across multiple disciplines, the book painstakingly documents a variety of plants and animals, creating an easy-to-access database of their forms, patterns, and dominant colors. These examples could save you hours of research on Wikipedia or Pinterest (or any other place you go for research) by simply giving you a sort of Yellow-Pages of organic design. The book’s multiple examples come with images, forms, silhouettes, color values and palettes, and even physical attributes that help spark the imagination and get those creative juices flowing. Whether you’re an industrial or transportation designer looking for aesthetic cues, or a graphic designer looking for patterns, logo inspiration, or even color palettes, the Nature of Form puts a veritable encyclopedia of nature-inspired design in the palm of your hand.
Designed to be a go-to reference book, Nature of Form makes it easy to conceptualize, detail, and design effective and aesthetic products by tapping into the world’s largest design database… nature itself!
