Morphology
barococo + design
The headword 'barococo' is a specialized blend of the art-historical labels Baroque and Rococo rather than a transparently compositional English word; knowing only the common noun 'design' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the combined stylistic meaning. Understanding the phrase therefore requires background knowledge of those movements or prior exposure to the blend, so the meaning is not derivable from the visible parts for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Barococo design comes from mixing two old styles, Baroque and Rococo. Picture a room with big, gold shapes and heavy detail from Baroque mixed with small, curly, playful decorations from Rococo. That picture shows why the term means a decorative look that is both 'grand' and 'playful'.
