David Hicks (1929-1998) is regarded as one of the finest and most influential interior designers of the twentieth century.
Known for his bold use of colour, eclecticism, and geometric designs in carpets and textiles, Hicks turned English decorating on its head in the 50s and 60s. His trademark use of electrifying colour combinations, mixing antiques and modern furniture and abstract paintings became the in-style for the chic of the day, including Vidal Sassoon and Helena Rubenstein. He also designed rooms for the young Prince Charles and Princess Anne, a yacht for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and a nightclub on the QE2 ocean liner. He had an unparalleled range of talents for designing carpet, fabric and wallpaper design, landscape architecture and garden design, commercial décor for restaurants and hotels, and interiors for homes and offices. By the 70s David Hicks had become a brand; his company was making wallpaper, fabrics and linens with outposts in eight countries, including the US where he worked with the young Mark Hampton, and where his wallpaper was used in the White House.
