Summary/Abstract: The geometric shapes and ornaments can be accepted the most abstract productions of human mind and consciousness. The geometric designs can be seen in almost all the cultures which produced movable and immovable artifacts such as soil, metal, textiles. But the Islamic arts’ geometric designs, especially using architecturals and illuminates are different and developed excellencely from its own contemporary and ancient cultures. We can encounter the re-using the geometric designs, for today’s art and design medium charactarized as a bit post modern, is on the stage among the transitive of styles as a multicultural and multiflow, interdisciplinary, the different flow at new art and design production, different historical layer. It is possible to face to face with these facts on the using past times’ geometric design elements at today. They are becoming more visible the effectives of past design elements as abstract expression today’s art, ready-made objects for design, a mature design, religious and/or historical belongingness and attaching importance to this, highlighting as an identity element, giving a deep-rooted image of history, putting forward the institutionalization, a postmodern attitude towards different things, the mobility of geometric designs up and down, right and left. As we have witnessed many times in the use of artistic and design products of the past, it is possible to read it as a result of consumption culture, in which new forms are not produced and the use of a ready-made design product capitalism emerges. It is also clear that the use of artistic and design products in the past is not progressive even if the forms are updated on the mind and perception.
