Lucienne Day / Fabric Collection Cushion Covers / Calyx

〈Available from November 20, 2025〉

Iconic British textile designs from the 1950s.

This cushion covers feature patterns designed by Lucienne Day in the 1950s. The fabric was reproduced in collaboration with Classic Textiles*, specialized brand in textile recreation using state of the art digital printing technology founded in 2003. Lucienne herself selected and supervised the reprints from her own archives. Her distinctive patterns, inspired by nature and geometry, capture the sophisticated modern style.

Designed in 1951,“ calyx” is a pattern inspired by the calyx of a flower. It was created for Heal’s at the request of her husband, furniture designer Robin Day, for display at the Festival of Britain. This bold abstract design transforms the natural forms of plants into a decorative and modern composition. Influenced by contemporary artists such as Miró and Klee, it made a significant impact on the history of textiles. It is one of the Lucienne Day’s most celebrated works, earning international recognition including a Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale.
