Australian Accent inspires young designers

Two groups of students studying interior design at the Enmore Design Centre have enjoyed the tours of Australian Accent. Like most visitors to the exhibition they were unaware of the story behind Annan Fabrics and the existence of Vande Pottery.
The students were curious about the lasting impact of the bold designs and wanted to investigate the possibility of reviving the copyright. Many are going to attend the Textile Design Symposium on the 26th of September and are keen to ask the panel of experts about this.
They commented on the success of previous designers such as the famous Florence Broadhurst whose designs from the '60s and '70s are still produced today.
Australian Accent: the Designs of Annan Fabrics and Vande Pottery of the ’40s and ’50s is on exhibition at Mosman Art Gallery from Sat 4 September – Sun 10 October. The exhibition showcases two Mosman businesses that featured distinctive Australian designs using native flora, fauna and Aboriginal motifs.
