Jonathan Glancey farewells Lucienne Day

Nice obituary of the wonderful English designer, who died a few days ago at the age of 93. I was particularly heartened to hear that her and Robin, her husband and design partner, were more than happy for their products to be mass market, that ‘nothing was too good for ordinary people’. I have a recent Virago reissue of Muriel Spark’s A Far Cry from Kensington covered in a repro of Calyx (the above design), in grey; it’s occupying pride of place on my dresser.
