Lucienne Day Appreciation

Last spring my cousin was married at the textile museum in D.C. I have always loved textile design, but I had not ever seen a collection in person like the one at the museum that day. The work of Lucienne Day was spread throughout the rooms. Day's was a name that I knew, but I hadn't seen her textiles in person, and there they were–modern, natural, accessible. I fell in love! Day was an artistic and creative force. She recognized the power of mass market, and she used that power to spread good design. Here are just a few of her designs. Below are some links to additional articles about Day and her husband.

Lucienne's textiles are still for sale at the Center for Advanced Textiles in UK.
