Museum Of Domestic Design & Architecture
MoDA - Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA)The Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA) houses what is widely regarded as one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of nineteenth and twentieth century decorative arts for the home.
MoDA has an outstanding collection of wallpapers and textiles dating from the 1870s to the 1960s. Many of these are the work of the Silver Studio, one of Britain’s leading commercial design studios from 1880 to 1960. The Silver Studio was always responsive to the fashions and tastes of the moment, designing in all the major styles such as the flat stylised Art Nouveau of the late nineteenth century, as well as the perennially popular traditional and historical idiom.
Its work provides a vivid insight into pattern design in the English home between 1880 and 1960. Other parts of the collection include trade catalogues of furnishers and interior decorators, the Crown Wallpaper Archive and an extensive library of books on design, architecture and town planning collected by the architectural critic, Sir JM Richards.
There is a wealth of other material relating to architecture, interior design, typography and printed ephemera, all of which contribute to MoDA’s claim to hold collections of outstanding national and international importance. MoDA, often referred to as ’the home of domestic design’, provides an invaluable resource for everyone interested in the history of design for the home.
MoDA is part of Middlesex University, and is based at the University’s Cat Hill campus.
