In the 1920s and 1930s he collaborated with Vanessa Bell in the production of interior schemes, many completed by rugs, printed furnishings and embroideries.  \r\n\r\nHis designs for printed textiles like this screen printed cotton velvet, were produced by Allan Walton, textile designer, manufacturer and interior decorator.
