This wallpaper was designed by June Lyon for John Line and Sons in about 1955.
The pattern was influenced by designs that appeared at the Festival of Britain in 1951. Bold, spiky patterns with a hand-drawn look featured in many of the Festivals’ exhibits.
This wallpaper was used in the departure lounge of Heathrow Airport when it opened in 1955, but with a background of lime green rather than grey.
