Sequoia (Dress or Furnishing Fabric)

Lucienne Day was a British textile and wallpaper designer whose geometric and organic patterns defined postwar domestic modernism. Working primarily in screen-printed textiles and wallpapers from the 1950s onward, she developed a vocabulary of interlocking abstract forms and nature-inspired motifs that balanced strict design discipline with lyrical composition. Her work appeared in major British institutions and became synonymous with the Festival of Britain aesthetic. Day's influence extended across product design and interior architecture, establishing a model for artist-led industrial production in mid-century Britain.
