Dandelion Clocks Fabric, 1953

Dandelion Clocks fabric by Lucienne Day for Classic Textiles.

After graduating from the Printed Textiles department of the Royal College of Art in 1940, Lucienne Day’s design career faced limitations due to the effects of the Second World War. As the restrictions of the war began to ease, she started to create modern furnishing textile designs that moved away from the bleakness of the war years.

Lucienne, an avid gardener, was captivated by the form of plants. This fascination is evident in her early designs, such as Dandelion Clocks, which often featured abstracted motifs of pods, stems, roots, flowers, petals, leaves, and seed heads, lending them a seemingly botanical quality.

Lucienne Day printed textiles from the 1950s have been reissued and digitally printed in 12 different designs and many more colourways.
