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.
