Meadow Fabric  
Flower Power

The Meadow fabric was inspired by tobacco leaves arranged in a bold and seemingly unorganized pattern. The simple shapes and colours were first achieved using block printing. Silk-screening allowed the repeated pattern on the fabric to be printed in large quantities. 

New Fabrics for New Spaces

In the 1960s, the building industry was booming. This meant that architects, interior designers and furniture manufacturers were looking for new fabrics to decorate large public buildings like airports, schools, banks and offices. The manufacturers and designers, J&J Brook, specialized in fabrics for interior design and offered a variety of patterns in 26 different colours
