Victoria and Albert Museum

Sanderson

In 1960 Sanderson issued its Centenary Collection, to celebrate one hundred years of producing wallpaper and textiles. It was therefore had a well-established reputation by the time it brought out its 1960s range, including John Piper's 'Northern Cathedral', shown right.
Besides commissioning artists like Piper and Spender, Sanderson also bought a number of its patterns from Italy and the US. Later in the decade Sanderson brought out some stimulating Pop patterns in keeping with the zeitgeist.
