Stefan Kanchev

Stefan kanchev 1915-2001

I never could resist a simplified bird form. Stefan Kanchev was a Bulgarian designer working in a nuumber of fields including postage stamps and logo design.

I love the way here he's balanced one wing on top of the other !

This is the last of three posts all highlighting some forgotten names of design.

The next post will be something of my own.

Lora Lamm

Lora Lamm, another forgotten name this time from Switzerland, she worked a lot in Italy in the 50's and 60's making vibrant contributions to the golden age of fashion illustration coming out of Milan.

These two hats I think really are quite wonderful.

Hans Tisdall

A great image from the relatively forgotten designer Hans Tisdall.Tisdall was born in Munich and settled in Britain in 1930. His clear coloured illustrative style was highly suitable to the task of making staple knowledge attractive for children, in Balbus, A Picture Book of Building 1944 Tisdall shows this to great effect. Tisdall was also a very gifted painter and producer of designs for printed textiles.
