from the guardian:
'lucienne's special genius was to fuse the british tradition of a love for nature – the 19th-century world
of john ruskin, william morris, charles voysey and the arts and crafts movement, with the abstract
concerns of international contemporary art. lucienne had a wonderful way of looking severe, and then
breaking into a warm smile and happy conversation. I suppose her best fabrics – and that's pretty much
all of them – are a bit like that: disciplined, intelligent, diligently researched, but also warm, playful,
colourful and delightful too.' read the entire obituary.
