Georgia
A big, bold pattern with a personal history. Based on a Georgian wallpaper discovered in 1966 by Philip Jebb, father of Lewis & Wood’s Creative Director Magdalen Jebb, in a derelict building in Brentford. He gave the wallpaper to John Fowler who later donated it to the V&A. The museum have kindly given us permission to reproduce it.
The V&A date the original paper c.1755-60 and suggest it was inspired by a silk damask, so we decided to create a printed linen too.
