Thornament

What is Thornament?

1.

graphic ornamentation consisting primarily of "twisted and winding viney things"

"Today’s decorative leanings, however, appear to lean less to the geometrical than the overtly botanical. I’ve participated in judging several juried exhibitions this year in which I’ve seen a preponderance of twisted and winding viney things, which I’ve taken to referring to as “thornament.”" - Jessica Helfand, April 11, 2006 10:35 AM, Design Observer
