Seats of London: A Field Guide to London Transport Moquette Patterns

Moquette is the carpet-like fabric covering the seats we sit on in London`s Tubes, buses, trams and Overground trains – and here is a brilliantly colourful guide to all its patterns. London Transport has always wanted the best design, be it Charles Holden`s superb art deco Tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, its elegant Johnston typeface or Harry Beck`s Tube map.And this pursuit of excellence has extended even to the design of the fabrics it covers our bus and Tube seats with: moquette. In the Thirties top artists like Paul Nash and Enid Marx were commissioned to design patterns; nowadays every line like Crossrail or the Overground gets its own unique, colour-co-ordinated moquette pattern.Now, in conjunction with the London Transport Museum, which has the definitive London Transport moquette archive, Andrew Martin has written a delightful, surprising and covetable guide to all these patterns, from the first horse bus to the latest Tube train.
