A Festival Style pattern by Alan Price for Heal's, 1953. The name suggests lively modernity in classical music; the image is reminiscent of some Congolese weavings but also hints at the shapes of bentwood chairs. The pattern is simple but effective, and perhaps the freshness of the tribal feel is an echo of the explorations of African art by many 20th century painters and sculptors.
