The inspiration for this pattern is a wallpaper from the 1955 book ‘Contemporary Designs’. Originally a very ‘busy’ paper, much of the background has been removed to give more presence to the floral motifs and their beautiful simplicity. The colours are drawn from archive documentation of the era, in addition to a chic, pared-down black and white interpretation.
