Abstract:

This paper will explore the impact of displacement and cross-cultural exchange on the design of High Sunderland, the Scottish Borders home of the Yugoslavian textile designer and design consultant Bernat Klein (1922–2014). The international influence of Klein's work was discussed by Vogue in 1964 as follows: 'Bernat Klein who in five years has revolutionised traditional English fabrics to win them new recognition abroad'. The paper will primarily be informed by an interview with Klein and numerous visits to the house between 2008 and 2013, which were linked to the acquisition and curation of the Bernat Klein Collection for National Museums Scotland.

Uncontrolled Keywords:
