Provence, Lucienne Day - Set of Greetings Cards

Greetings Card set featuring Provence by Lucienne Day.

Set of eight greetings cards featuring two colourways of Provence, Chestnut and Light Ochre.

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 the Light Ocre colourway of Mini Moderns' wallpaper 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.

Printed onto quality paper stocks by King&Mcgaw, the UK's leading publisher of fine art prints in the arts sector.
