English term or phrase: acts as a contrast to figuration
The new contemporary H’Bloc design plays on contrast. It exudes an off-beat, two-tone graphic feel. Like puzzle pieces slotted together, this design takes the illustrative narrative off on a geometric tangent. Parallels can be drawn with the work of Eileen Gray and the architectural masterpieces of Art-Deco jewellery. A contrast in style, like Kanji, a graph, that functions like a veritable 'block print'. The H’Bloc's design also evokes the metallic pieces seen in horse-riding equipment. The design of H’Bloc also evokes the metal components of equestrian equipment. H'Bloc provides rhythm and acts as a contrast to figuration.

se ho capito bene (cosa non facile con questo simpatico testo), 'sto H'Bloc è un elemento/motivo geometrico, stilizzato, tipo staffa o roba simile (per via del richiamo equino) che, ripetuto a incastro ("like puzzle pieces slotted together) e a oltranza, crea un effetto ritmico e geometrico, appunto - cadenzato? - che si contrappone alla rappresentazione figurativa (di immagini/soggetti diversi o insiemi dei medesimi)

ehhh?!? boh...

che fa da contrasto/contraltare agli elementi reiterati/ripetuti/ai pattern geometrici


Explanation:
Ipotizzo che mutui il termine dall'ambito musicale e non dalla pittura.

Il ritmo introdotto contrasta con gli elementi statici (probabilmente geometrici e dunque schematici) quelli ripetuti di cui parlava prima.

Figuration may refer to:
In classical music, the use of repetitive patterns: Figure (music)
