The fabric of (London) life...

For all you budding textile designers out there, we have exciting news: TFL (or 'Transport for London', for the uninitiated) are holding a competition to design a new 'moquette' or seat cover design for the next generation of London tube trains.

The design brief, which is exactly the same as it was in 1930, emphasises that the design's colours should respond well to both natural and artificial light, with a pattern which takes account of wear and tear. The winning design will launch on the Piccadilly line in 2012 and will then be adopted across the London Underground system.
