Magnetic Fabric, 1957

Magnetic 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.

Unlike the majority of Lucienne’s fabrics, which were screen-printed, Magnetic was roller-printed. This production method resulted in a lower cost of production, which in turn made the material more affordable. The design was made available in six different colourways, with some versions featuring a monochromatic palette while others presented a striking composition of multiple colours.

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