Ornamika is an independent project at the junction of culture and technology. Using digital instruments, our team archives, reconstructs, and interprets the ornaments of Russia.
We thoroughly search, structure and describe patterns from different regions to surprise you with their great variety and to make it easy to find high quality reference for your work, study or pleasure.
In our digital laboratory we analyze and reconstruct the patterns, but most importantly, we create “new graphics” – modern visual interpretations of historical patterns.
Finally, we built and further develop ornamika.com technology – knowledge management system with a focus on visual materials. Now this system could be used by business and cultural organization for their own knowledge base development.
Contains more than 5000 ornaments examples from 50 regions of Russia, created before the beginning of 20th century. Our collection covers 14 decorative and applied arts types (and more than 100 sub-types and styles) and is also structured in terms of pattern composition, visual elements, application surface and other criteria.
We constantly search for new ornaments and hope to collaborate with museums, funds and private collectors and experts.
