David Hicks
Fri, 2 Feb 2007More retro inspiration. This time from the legendary David Hicks forerunner of Jonathan Adler and Kelly Wearstler. He was the superstar designer of the 1960s and 1970s – sought after by royalty and the privileged. Though it's been many years since his last projects were centre stage in the design world, David Hicks' influence is still felt today. His use of pattern is amazing!

Oh Anna we were definitely separated at birth! But I'm quite a bit older. It's strange how similar we are in inspirational forces.

I have never heard of David Hicks. I am really starting to get into bold patterns and designs, so thanks for introducing his work to me! :)

Collect the superb range of incredible books published by David Hicks.
They are occasionaly available on E Bay.
The books are superb & illustrate better than anything else how DH was way ahead of his time.
