      • Product Description: The intriguing story of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique collaboration between scientists and designers at the Festival of Britain. Conceived by Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge crystallographer, and spearheaded by the Council of Industrial Design, the Festival Pattern Group co-opted diagrams of atomic structures for patterns on everyday products, including textiles, wallpapers, ceramics and glass. The result was a weird and wonderful collection of furnishings and accessories decorated with scientifically accurate crystal structure designs.

        Featuring numerous hitherto unpublished images and drawing on extensive new research, this book provides a definitive account of the Festival Pattern Group and explores the science behind the designs.
