AN exhibition at the Museum of Carpet is set to celebrate the life and work of one of the most influential designers of the post-war generation - Lucienne Day.
For the first time, the Museum of Carpet, in Green Street, will be putting its entire archive of Lucienne Day's ground-breaking designs for carpet on public display as part of the Lucienne Day: Living Design exhibition - a collaboration between the museum and the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation.
The exhibition will open on Saturday (July 1) and forms part of a year-long programme of exhibitions taking place nationwide to celebrate the centenary of the pioneering designer's birth and to highlight many different aspects of Lucienne Day's work - including her mould-breaking designs for the Kidderminster-based carpet industry.
In addition to displaying her for the carpet industry, the exhibition will also tell the story of her long design career, unfolding in a sequence of photographs drawn from the archives of the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation.
It will start in 1940 with her Diploma Show as a textile student at the Royal College of Art, up until her work for numerous companies in Britain and abroad in the early 1970s.
The Lucienne Day: Living Design exhibition is open at the Museum of Carpet between July 1, and September 30.
