GREAT BRITISH INSTITUTIONS
Ordinary Magnificence
Great British Institutions transforms the wonderfully ordinary into the gloriously extraordinary through the elegance and extravagance of Art Deco. Familiar British pleasures are reimagined with elongated figures, dramatic geometric forms, sumptuous colours and an almost outrageous sense of glamour.Affectionate, playful and unapologetically sophisticated, the collection celebrates the beauty of everyday life by treating the commonplace as something magnificent. All six prints are available in A2, A3 and A4 sizes.
