This photograph, taken in 1966, showcases the innovative duo of interior designers, David Davies and his collaborator Nell, proudly displaying their latest creations - a collection of hand-decorated antique printing blocks. The designers, both dressed in the vibrant and trendy fashion of the 1960s, exude a sense of excitement and creativity. David and Nell's unique approach to design is evident in the brilliant colours and bold designs they have applied to the printing blocks. Each block, a work of art in itself, is a testament to their artistic vision and their ability to transform ordinary homeware into decorative statement pieces. The printing blocks, which were available for purchase at the renowned Heals department store in Tottenham Court Road, London, were priced at 4, 5, and 6 guineas. This affordable price point made these one-of-a-kind designs accessible to a wider audience, allowing individuals to bring a touch of the avant-garde pop art aesthetic into their homes. David Davies and Nell's collaboration marked a significant departure from traditional interior design, as they embraced the bold colours and graphic designs that were emblematic of the 1960s. Their work continues to inspire designers and collectors alike, and this photograph serves as a reminder of their groundbreaking contributions to the world of interior decoration.
