Provence, Chestnut by Lucienne Day
Overview
Lucienne Day, a leading British textile designer of the twentieth century, produced innovative designs for textiles, wallpapers, carpets, and ceramics, paving the way for the post-war 'Contemporary' style. In collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Mini Moderns has produced authentic reissues of two original wallpaper designs by Lucienne Day.
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.
