Reflecting a desire for a new world founded on modernity and innovation, the 1950s saw the drab utility prints necessitated by the strictures of war giving way to designs inspired by Abstract Expressionism, rock 'n' roll iconography, technology and domesticity. This comprehensive illustrated sourcebook analyses the work of noted mid-century textile designers including Lucienne Day, Robert Stewart and Sylvia Chambers.
