i have to admit that i have become very burned out on 50s textile design. i used to just love it but i think all of the scary reproductions out there just made me not want to look at any of if - good, bad, old or new.
but i think the work of lucienne day will help me fall in love all over again.
(from "robin + lucienne day, poineers of modern design" by lesley jackson)
Very 50's fabric! I've seen curtains made from similar material.

You know, I've also felt the same way lately. I mean, I feel as if mid-century 50's textiles have become so over-produced, copied and commercially marketed that their beauty has become inflated
However, the textiles you posted are really different and have a very fresh look...maybe hinting towards alvin lustig...but entirely its own style. I especially love the last image.
nice post
