Chevron

'Chevron' moquette fabric, designed by Enid Marx, 1938. Geometric chevron design in red and two shades of green, consisting of a grid of squares with diagonal lines. This moquette fabric was designed by Enid Marx in 1938 and was used to re-upholster seating on the Piccadilly and Central line trains of the London Underground as well as surface stock. Moquette is a hardwearing and durable fabric making it particularly suitable for the needs of public transport. Four moquette designers were commissioned by the London Passenger Transport Board in the 1930s, including Norbert Dutton and Paul Nash as well as Enid Marx. Four of Marx's designs are known to have gone into use.
