Lucienne Day
I am in love with the designs of Lucienne Day. Here are some examples of her textile work which was put together by the Center for Advanced Textiles at Glasgow School of Arts.
Flotilla
Dandelion Clocks
Calyx
This book, Robin and Lucienne Day: Pioneers of Modern Design, which showcases both Lucienne's work, and the work of her equally talented husband Robin, is now at the top of my wish list.
Robin Day's Armchair for the Royal Festival Hall, 1951.
And check out these cool Jack Purcell Converse sneakers made with Lucienne's Trio pattern!
More information on this dynamic due, and many other thoughouly fantastic designers, can be found from Britain's Design Museum
