1950s KITE STRINGs FABRIC - A CLASSIC!


























Today I'm thinking about 'KITE STRINGS' designed in 1955 by David Parsons for Heals Fabrics Ltd. It's a gorgeous atomic design with a strong scientific influence and has become something of a 1950s classic! The gorgeous zingy bright colourways this beautiful fabric was produced in , added a real lift to 50s homes after the gruelling war years.

It was produced in at least 3 different colourways; red, yellow and a very rare mauve-grey...here's a picture of the red colourway .

We have all 3 colour ways in stock and will be adding the wall- art and cushions to our new textile collection very soon...
