One of the twentieth century’s most influential British textile designers, Lucienne Day created visionary designs for textiles, wallpapers, carpets and ceramics, pioneering the post-war ‘Contemporary’ style. A beloved designer who's works are held within The Whitworth's collections.
Working closely with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation Mini Moderns has created faithful reissues of two original Lucienne Day wallpaper designs.
Our shop has been beautifully wallpapered with this design and the original wallpaper by Lucienne Day is held within the Whitworth's collections.
Featuring a mix of abstract and botanical icons within elliptical shapes, Provence was one of the three wallpapers that Lucienne Day designed for the 1951 Festival of Britain – the landmark exhibition that has long been a source of inspiration for Mini Moderns. Robin Day used Provence to decorate one of his room-sets, which also showcased his own furniture, so the design is inextricably linked to the Festival.
Available in 2 colourways: Chestnut and Light Ochre.
