This book, Robin and Lucienne Day: Pioneers of Modern Design, which showcases both Lucienne's work, and the work of her equally talented husband Robin, is now at the top of my wish list.
Robin Day's Armchair for the Royal Festival Hall, 1951.
And check out these cool Jack Purcell Converse sneakers made with Lucienne's Trio pattern!
More information on this dynamic due, and many other thoughouly fantastic designers, can be found from Britain's Design Museum

I really like those Lucienne Day designs. I want those Converse sneakers! & they're yellow! I have a thing for yellow sneakers (& red ones! For days when I need to travel faster!). Actually I want the swanky armchair as well. I want I want I want...
I can see why you like her work. There is a similarity there.
I really love the work of Lucienne Day. I actually wrote an essay which included some of this work for my degree course. It's great to see it in the contemporary setting of a blog!
I can see how he inspires you. It's great to have this reference. Those sneaks rock.
sign me up for a pair of those converse -- those are great! Day rocks!
Have their textiles been sold at Ikea? I could swear I have seen them there...
Mid-century love
The sneakers are great!
Isn't Lucienne amazing? I treated myself to the book as a holiday gift, and it's incredible. I loved seeing not only her work but also the context in which she created it. She was a smart, outspoken woman at a time when it was harder to be one than it is now.
Your work is charming...I can see the Day connection. Love the spores and amoebas.
I love the Dandelion Clocks design the best I think. My boyfriend is from Glasgow and the school of art is really special. Makes the one I went to look like housing commission flats.
Lucienne Days and her contemporaries have been my inspiration for a while now. That must be why we like each others work!
This post is absolutely terrific! I am dying over that perfect "Calyx" fabric.
Well I am not the only one it seems, but I love the kicks! Must add yellow chucks to my shopping list!
I really like that graphic/retro fabric! Thanks for sharing! And I SO have been admiring those converse shoes forever! They are super cute!
Great stuff - and I love those sneakers!
