R.I.P. ROBIN DAY

Robin Day has died aged 95. He was one of the most influential British furniture designers of the 20th century, his most famous piece being the moulded plastic polyprop chair. You've probably sat on one. Designed in 1962 there are approximately 50 million in circulation. He and his textile designer wife, Lucienne transformed British design after World War II by pioneering a new modern idiom. Often compared to their US contemporaries, Charles and Ray Eames, their working practice was very different as they worked independently in separate fields.

"Robin and Lucienne Day: Design and the Modern Interior", will be held in Spring 2011 (26 March — 26 June 2011) at Pallent House Gallery in Chichester — the city where the Days retired in 2000, in order to be closer to their Sussex cottage, where Day spent much of her time in the garden.

PRETTY POLLY PERKINS' PHOTOS

My grandmother left a great collection of photos from her travels during 1960s and 70s.

IT'S BIG

Oh the excitement, 4 years of searching high and low, and finally I've found a vacuum bed to feed my print habit - and not just any print bed, this one's 4 metres long ! Mind you, I had to come to Australia to find one. The world is my lobster! The possibilities huge. New prints will be off the press before Christmas.

Today I shall mostly be working on my shop now online at www.fiftyonehundred.bigcartel.com. Have been working on 'seaside' colours for my Tiddley-Om-Pom-Pom print and a new Adelaide Question print. More of that later.

Sleep is for the Weak

Still buzzing from Bowerbird. I'm working on a new online shop which will be up in the next week or so, in the meantime you can email me direct at carol@fiftyonehundred.co.uk. New designs are in the offing and different colour ways for The Adelaide Question tea towel.

Stuff We Like

Report from The Colonies

Do believe the hype. Do check for Redbacks in your shoes.

Life upside down is all a bit sideways sometimes

3 weeks in and so far so good, and I really do like living upside down. Missing printing space but as they say here, every bloke needs a shed. Have corrugated tin, will build.
