Baroque?


That's a good word for it.

There was a short-lived trend in design a few years back that used the term ”maximalism” to mean something similar - covering every surface, layering metaphors on top of metaphors, mixing traditions from all over.


Baroque is characterised by the ornamentation of every detail. Which is why I suggest the term "ornamentation".
