Conran Fabric Archive Unleashed

Here is something exciting that I have stumbled upon, in celebration of his 80th birthday this year, Sir Terence Conran has made available to Surface View a range of stunning mid-century prints, from the Conran archives.

Kept under lock and key at the V&A since the 1970’s, sixteen of the 52 prints from the 1950s and 60s are now available as wallpaper, prints and canvases. These include a selection designed by Sir Terence Conran himself. Having originally trained as a fabric designer at Central St Martins, Sir Terence established two manufacturing companies in the 1950s; Conran Fabrics and Conran Furniture. Although Conran Fabrics ceased trading in the 70s, the designs were held at the V&A for posterity.

Isn't this exciting, they are so fun and quirky, which you wouldn't expect anything less from Conran. Here are a selection of the prints, aren't they divine?

Spring Summer Trends At The Conran Shop

Here is a little sneak peek at the upcoming spring summer collection 2011 from the Conran Shop! Their key trends are feminine florals, bright colours, animal prints, natural materials and keeping alive British design. I have to say the the new collection is fab, exciting, edgier and ooooh so feminine which I love.

Here are some of my favourite picks!
