Liberty of London is famed for its floral and paisley fabrics. But now, to mark its 150th anniversary, the department store is launching a new range of modernist textiles featuring abstract designs.
The team at Liberty has collaborated with 93-year-old Italian designer Federico Forquet on FuturLiberty, a collection inspired by the Italian futurists and British vorticists – artistic movements from the early 20th century that celebrated the vitality of modern life. In doing so, they’ve also brought the late designer Bernard Nevill back into the spotlight.
