Ornamental despair is an interesting concept to try to describe the current debate around decoration.

In an economic crisis, the role of decoration remains unclear. While minimalism is typical of economic booms, too much decoration may well be an inappropriate show-off to the many have-not.

This leads to what we could well define ornamental despair, a sign of our times.

Not surprisingly this elusive concept has been used by well-known artists, such as Julian Schnabel and Glenn Brown.

Ornamental despair is therefore a highly brandable name for anything linked to decoration, interior design, or fashion.
