This book is a richly illustrated tribute to one of Britain’s most innovative postwar textile and furniture firms. Design historian Lesley Jackson charts how Hull Traders, under the bold vision of Shirley Craven, broke new ground in modern printed fabrics—bringing vibrant, abstract patterns and radical colour palettes into everyday interiors.
Through archive photographs, pattern swatches and insightful commentary, Jackson traces the story of Craven’s dynamic role as designer and art director, championing experimental young artists and pushing commercial textiles into the realm of fine art. The book is an inspiring companion for designers, collectors and mid-century enthusiasts alike—celebrating a pioneering spirit that reshaped Britain’s domestic landscape.
