In the post-war period, Bernat Klein became internationally renowned as a designer of textiles for both fashion and interiors, primarily for his accomplished use of colour. Klein's innovative approach to colour was inspired principally by modern art and his work contributed to the greater embrace of the symbolic and expressive power of colour in British design of the 1960s and 1970s. This chapter extends research on Klein's practice as a consultant designer of furnishing textiles and carpets between 1966 and 1980, an area that has not yet been explored in any depth.
