Rediscovering timeless designs in traditional art

What Makes For a Timeless Design?

With the rap­id pro­gress of tech­no­logy, con­cepts change in the blink of an eye. And art makes no ex­cep­tion.

In a world of vig­or­ous changes where today's "beau­ti­ful" is to­mor­row's "dated", we ex­plore styles that have pre­served their aes­thet­ic value through the ages.

Poly­draw provides pieces of au­then­t­ic tra­di­tion­al art­work from an­cient China and the East re­cre­ated as 2D vec­tor graph­ics. We hope you en­joy our col­lec­tion.

The Graphics Library

The idea to start build­ing up a lib­rary of mo­tifs from an­tique East­ern art­works first came about after our real­iz­a­tion that such designs were al­most nowhere to be found in a sys­tem­at­ic form suit­able for graph­ic use.

We se­lect pieces amongst ex­quis­ite ex­amples, ex­plore their geo­metry and clean it up while pre­serving the ori­gin­al char­ac­ter.

All graph­ics on this page are vec­tor re­cre­ations of au­then­t­ic pieces of tra­di­tion­al art, sourced from pub­lic do­mains.

Are they still rel­ev­ant today? Check them out and de­cide for you­self.
