Crystallography and wall paper design. Helen Megaw an x-ray crystallography thought the patterns were very suited to wall paper designs due to their repetitive nature.

'Festival Pattern Group' 1949-51 created prints to be used at the Great Exhibition

Normally wall papers were inspired by nature or greek/classical design

'Taking the idea of the atom away from the bomb and into art and design'

Balancing good design with scientific accuracy
Atomic patterns part of a free flowing creative process

Psychedelic colour palettes
Glass, ceramics, textile, wall paper, carpet, formica etc

Sculpture/surface design?
Images of dentinal tubules/enamel prisms?

Take out 'From atoms to patterns' from the library.
