The complexity of maximalism comprises many different sub-genres and eras such as Rococo and Neoclassicism, which developed in the mid-1960s. Celebrating richness and excess in graphic design, maximalism works take a playful and provoking approach to the principles of design, totalizing noise in the space it manifests in. This collection of design pieces ranges from ceramics, furniture, design objects, lighting, and textiles.
