But which Irish artist designed it?

Lines close at 11am.

Update: Louis Le Brocquy, 1951.

From the Victoria and Albert Museum:

Brocquy executed this design for David Whitehead Ltd., a leading manufacturer of furnishing fabrics, based in Lancashire. The company engaged avant-garde designers to produce furnishings with a modern ‘look’, throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The design on this fabric was created by mechanised screen-printing, then a comparatively new technology that reduced costs considerably for the manufacturer.

Come for the eye candy, stay for the music loop and aneurism.

Update: from Ling herself:

 


Manufacturer and Etsy seller Brian Griffin (no, really) sez of this ox-blood,
hand-formed, leather skull clutch bag purse:

Very close to a full size human skull. I must point this out. This is first and foremost a work of art. It will hold small items but I do not advise packing it like a regular purse.

The Fluidity – a combination dish-rack/herb-garden concept from DesignLibero:

The water that trickles from the washed dishes irrigates the plants. The base, thanks to its fluid form, directs the wastewater into the sections where are plant containers placed. Each container is perforated at the bottom for water passage. The containers are filled with clay pellets and coconut fiber, to control the water environment of the plant on the one hand and to keep clean the dish drainer base on the other hand.

Mummy, I don’t want to go to aunt Cecily’s penthouse. The parsley tastes like Fairy Liquid
