"Notebook" Fabric

Designed 1981-1984
Designed by Robert Venturi (American, 1925–2018) Made by the The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia (founded 1977)
Like the dashes in the Grandmother fabric, the Notebook pattern was inspired by standard stationers' supplies, but according to Denise Scott Brown, it evolved "to look more like the black-and-white blobs on the covers of composition notebooks that American children use in school."
