Some Ab Fab 50s Fabric and Lino Design

1 Marion Mahler fabric design

In a probably premature celebratory move (so I'm seriously tempting the Gods of Smugness here), some ab fab 50s fabric and lino design.

For me what's great is the introduction of simple quirky abstract shapes and bright primary colours in often off-centre design - all as a way, I guess, of optimistically starting the new decade after after the horrors of WW2.

No more comment is needed guys ...

Champagne!

Any favourites?

I'm crazy bout the first three Marion Mahler designs and (for obvious reasons) the lurid bright green lino design (#7)!!!
