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!
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.
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.
Did you know that you can buy #Calyx? #LucienneDay's most famous design, which made her name at the #FestivalofBritain in 1951, is available to order from Classic Textiles @cat_gsa. https://t.co/M4oTvYNvGj…
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...
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.

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)
