Before closing with enriched outlines it is well to consider flagrant violations of this enrichment now on the market. [Figure 101] shows a typical example of complete lack of unity and simplicity. It is a type of design often associated with cheaply constructed furniture. It is an ornate parody on outline enrichment. The curves of extravagance are well shown in [Figure 102] where large bulbous curves with no systematic grouping combine disastrous waste of material with lack of grace or lightness. It is excellent practice to redesign such examples as those shown in [Figures 101] and [102] with special reference to Rule 5c.
Rule 5c. Outline enrichment, by its similarity, should give a sense of oneness or unity to the design, binding divergent members together.
