Description: | This curtain is made from ?Chequers? fabric, designed by Terence Conran for the textile manufacturing firm David Whitehead Ltd. It was one of twenty fabrics that were chosen from the firm for display at the Festival of Britain in 1951. During the 1950s David Whitehead Ltd was one of the most progressive textile manufacturers in Britain. The firm introduced the work of major modern artists and contemporary designers to the mass market, making an influential contribution to the furnishing ?look? of the fifties and sixties. Their London office was used for press launches during these years. In the 1950s it was based at 205 Regent Street. In the 1960s it was transferred to Mappin House in Oxford Street. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Geffrye Museum | Subjects: | work Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1951 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Conran, Terence | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
