The visual language of Islamic design employs a variety of intricate geometric patterns, floral elements and ornate calligraphy, all of which are used to decorate manuscripts, textiles, furniture, buildings, etc. ISLAMIC DESIGNS presents a diverse collection of designs, ranging from simple and elegant elements to complex and highly ornate interlocking patterns.
