The Factory Next Door

The Factory Next Door


1. The Museum Gift

October 24, 2023

Ever wondered who designs the distinctive fabrics found on the London Underground? So did we, and it turns out the designers don’t just create iconic seat patterns known to millions of commuters, they make the most exquisite gifts you’ll find in the gift shops of our most famous art galleries and museums.

 

In this episode of The Factory Next Door, we go through the doors of celebrated design studio Wallace Sewell to discuss staying creative for three decades, arguing politely, and why no colour should be feared.

 

We also head to the Lancashire / Yorkshire border and visit the mill transforming their designs into beautiful British-made products.
