The cultural history of wallpaper

With Michael Lech and Jude Stewart

Wallpaper, once dismissed as old and fusty, is having something of a resurgence of late. But what is its cultural history? Michael Williams from the ABC’s Blueprint for Living speaks with Michael Lech, curator at the Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collections, Sydney Living Museums, and Jude Stewart, Chicago based design writer and journalist and author 'Patternalia: An Unconventional History of Polka Dots, Stripes, Plaid, Camouflage, and Other Graphic Patterns'.
