Collection: Lucienne Day

Born in Coulsdon, England. Studied in the textile department of the Royal College of Art and began working as a freelance designer shortly after the war. Her fabric “Calyx” for Heal’s, created for the Festival of Britain in 1951, received high acclaim. She produced numerous original patterns inspired by plants and geometry, and her work spanned a wide range of fields including carpets, wallpapers, and ceramics. In 2004, she was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE). Together with her husband, furniture designer Robin Day, she is recognized as one of the leading figures in postwar British modern design.
