London Underground Victoria, Bakerloo & Northern Lines and London Buses – Blue Straub Moquette Fabric Sold by the Metre

Make something of your own with Blue Straub moquette fabric, sold by the metre for upholstery and creative projects.

Blue Straub's rich blues, turquoise and greens were part of everyday journeys on London's Victoria, Bakerloo and Northern lines and London Transport buses. The geometric moquette was designed by Marianne Straub (1909–1994), whose work spanned the 1951 Festival of Britain, ocean liner interiors and the Victoria Line. When Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the Victoria Line in March 1969, it represented London's confidence in technology and great design, right down to the fabric on its seats.
