How I missed this news I have no idea. But one of my design icons, and indeed icons in general, Lucienne Day, passed away a few days ago. She had a huge influence on so many things in my life and would have been part of a PhD I was thinking of beginning (before toddler boy came along and stopped any such plans in their tracks...)
Just last week I was reading again about her work in the Festival of Britain, and recently saw her work in MOSI's electricity gallery, and in the Wellcome Collection's From Atoms to Patterns exhibition a couple of years ago.
Read an obituary of Lucienne Day in The Guardian.
An amazing, inspiring woman who thankfully has left an incredible legacy.
