A rare example of the special and exclusive commission Lucienne Day received in 1963 from Shell. The pattern, produced in three colourways, featured vertical bands of colour overlayed with ‘stylised letters of the company name ‘Shell’ applied using the mono-printing method. Lucienne Day also designed carpets for the company’s London headquarters. The lilac and blue colour way to this textile was also used for bedcovers and curtaining in the bedrooms of a Brighton hotel for the prestigious Shell conference, also in 1963. This important commission no doubt came about through Robin Day’s connection with Shell, as he used their revolutionary new plastic polypropylene for his innovative design, the ‘Polyprop’ chair in 1963. Target Gallery, London.
