Lot Essay

Edward Bawden (1903-1989) trained under Paul Nash and Edward Johnston and was initially employed by the Curwen Press designing posters for London Transport and wallpapers. His later freelance work included items for Twining's Teas, Poole Potteries, Shell-Mex and Fortnum & Mason. This present bench was designed as part of a suite for the Bilston Iron Foundry in 1956. The Bawden archive is held by the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery and Museum.
