From Atoms to Patterns
'From Atoms to Patterns' explored the influence of X-ray crystallography on designs that were exhibited at the Festival of Britain of 1951. At that time, a number of artists and makers derived pattern from scientists' diagrams of atomic structures, that were then applied to fabric, wallpaper, flooring, ceramics and furniture. One large polychrome element was designed to display the exhibits on loan from the V&A and the Science Museum. The project was curated by Lesley Jackson. The graphic design was by Graphic Thought Facility.
