This week we are looking at Daisy Richardson's 'Sandstone Chair'.

Daisy was inspired to digitally print photographs of the Halls' sandstone blocks onto a velvet fabric with @cat_gsa. Upholstering one of our office chairs, the ancient stone is placed in a modern context.

Happy Easter everyone!
Inspired by dried flowers in the home of Charles & Ray Eames, #LucienneDay's #DandelionClocks (1953) is a contemporary' reinterpretation of the English floral tradition. You can now order furnishing fabric direct from https://t.co/lJ91ghHLve @cat_gsa.

Thrilling news - #LucienneDay's Lapis (1953) is back in production! Timelessly fresh and festive, this iconic #midcentury design has been reissued by @cat_gsa working from original fabrics @WhitworthArt collections. https://t.co/lJ91ghHLve

@transglobalexpr Been a loyal customer now since last year and have been very happy with service received until yesterday.
Was told that we’d need to basically forget about a very expensive roll of fabric that has been lost in transit even though we’s payed extra to insure it!

#ThrowbackThursday to January 2018 - opening of brilliant @TheGalleryAUB @inspiredAUB touring #exhibition #LucienneDay: Living Design at #Oxfordshire Museum, Woodstock #textiles #textiledesign #Oxford

[Robin & Lucienne Day @Robin_Lucienne]

#LucienneDay's Baldric (1964), recreated by @cat_gsa, is looking fabulous reinstated here at @ChurchillCol #Cambridge! This bold #textiledesign perfectly complements the iconic 1960s Brutalist building.

[CATdigital @cat_gsa]

Great to see this project finally complete. It was challenging to recreate the fabrics but very worthwhile!

[The Glasgow School of Art Media Centre @GSofAmedia]

Dressed for Success - the current edition of @carlisleliving features an article on the first dedicated showcase for the Costume Collection @TullieHouse. @GSofA @cat_gsa digitally reconstructed areas of missing / damaged fabric in original pieces to make their display possible.

[Robin & Lucienne Day @Robin_Lucienne]

We are thrilled to announce that #LucienneDay's Baldric has returned to @ChurchillCol Cambridge! This magnificent design, specially commissioned by the architect Richard Sheppard in 1963, has now been recreated as a printed fabric by our licensee Classic Textiles @cat_gsa.

Thanks @V_and_A for another stunning pattern from textile designer Lucienne Day! We are proud to hold one of her Tangram Silk Mosaics in our collection...

[Robin & Lucienne Day @Robin_Lucienne]

We were delighted to donate this #LucienneDay Tangram #silkmosaic to @GSAArchives! Major retrospective of her #silkmosaics was held @GSofA in 2003.

[CATdigital @cat_gsa]

Looking FORWARD to working with Artist Kevin Harman again soon ... and looking BACK on his previous project 'Signs of Life' which showcased over 300 handmade signs and bespoke four-poster bed and cushions, all printed onto our cotton velvet.

@hub_ola @OLAPrimaryGlas brilliant finish Olivia! Your Dad would have needed another touch!!

[GSA Archives @GSAArchives]

Lovely piece from @HESEngineShed about Scotland’s Arts & Crafts Women, including Margaret Macdonald. You can read about her and her contemporaries, and see how @cat_gsa printed her embroidered panels from our collection for display at The Engine Shed #textiles (MC/A/1)
