Inspiration: Lucienne Day
Posted in: UncategorizedThe work of Lucienne Day inspires a lot of contemporary interpretations, but it always worthwhile to know more than the surface of a designer’s work. Day’s work is part of Designing Women: Post-War British Textiles: a current exhibition at the British Textiles Museum. The book Robin and Lucienne Day: Pioneers in Modern Design by Lesley Jackson (Chronicle, 2001) is also worth adding to your library.
