- Synopsis
- The carpet was designed by Sir Peter Blake, a member of the Pop Art movement from the 1960s. He is most famous for his design of The Beatle's Sgt. Pepper's album cover. The carpet's informal design is a repeating circular pattern with each circle divided equally into four quadrants. In each quadrant is a stylised version of the four elements of the UKSC emblem - a red rose flower head (symmetrical with five petals and a cream centre), a light blue flower head (symmetrical with five petals and a cream centre), a purple flower head (purple petals on a green circular head) and a leek (cream edible stem and short green leaves). The rose and flax flowers are on a light grey background while the thistle and leek are on a sandy background. Surrounding the circular patterns are royal blue and lime green borders that join the circles in an undulating pattern. The circles and borders sit on a dark green background. The tactile image shows four complete patterns and two part patterns surrounded by the two coloured borders. Each pattern is just over half the size of a single pattern in the carpet. Two textures show the blue and green borders. Thick lines show the division of the four quadrants. Solid texture with a further different texture show the flowers and leek.
