Features: This book is the sister volume to "Designers' Treasury - Exquisite Decorative Motifs from China and Beyond." It focuses on collecting decorative motifs from 12 ethnic minorities in China, with over 1,200 pattern sources. We advocate for the primitive and classic, as only these elements reveal profound cultural heritage. We firmly believe that the more ethnic, the more universal. The materials provided to designers in this book can be easily transformed into modern designs with ethnic charm through appropriate modifications, such as computer processing.
