In post-war Britain, a young Lucienne Day made her name in design conveying the buoyant national mood through jubilant, modernist textiles. These patterns have now come to define mid-century print design and remain wildly popular, and are being celebrated for her centenary today. Lucienne was a resolute modernist, and looked to inject some excitement to the staid world of textiles while remaining relatable with her visual references, explains Paula. “She was influenced by modern artists such as Paul Klee, and Joan Miró,” Paula adds. “From her student days drawing objects at the V&A Museum, she was inspired by the world’s great decorative traditions. And of course, plant forms recur throughout her work.”
