Marianne Straub Life story
Marianne Straub OBE was one of the leading commercial designers of textiles in Britain in the period from the 1940s to 1960s. She said her overriding aim was: "to design things which people could afford. . . . To remain a handweaver did not seem satisfactory in this age of mass-production".
