brutally honest & accurate ....
"standing as a reminder of our fears, insecurities, & paranoia, 
which are so familiar to our contemporary culture."

Design Festival Poster.jpg
English designer (and my friend!) Lisa Whatmough,
owner of the fabulous London furniture company ....... 
was asked by the London Transport Museum 
to create this divine bespoke sofa ....... 
to be used on the posters that appeared in the Underground Tube stations 
during the London Design Festival!!!!!

Made from the famous "moquette" fabric, 
which has been used to upholster seating across the 
London Transport system for over 100 years.

Lisa incorporated some of the most iconic patterns,
including the bold District Line pattern 
designed by Misha Black in 1978 ...
and the Green Line moquette.

In addition, Lisa created a bespoke chair that was auctioned-off
at the Tent London design exhibition last week.

Surrounded by loads of people trying to "win" the chair ......
it was almost impossible to get it's picture!!!!
But, here it is!!!
Wish I'd won it ......... don't you!!!
