Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Paule Marrot (1902-1987) was a Parisian textile designer widely known for her textile prints with a flat, two-dimensional, upbeat style - often with a floral pattern. She experienced strong popularity in the U.S. after World War II, worked with Renault to develop the company's textile and color division, and redefined furnishing fabrics in her native country of France. Marrot won the Prix Blumenthal in 1928 and in 1952, the French Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honor), as Chevalier. 1999 saw the creation of Editions Paule Marrot Ltd which was became SAS Editions Paule Marrot in 2002, reissuing more than 320 fabrics from Marrot's career along with numerous tablecloths and towel designs, a total of more than 450 designs. In 2005, Carolina Irving wrote a story about Marrot for Better Homes and Gardens and in 1997 the Museum of Printed Textiles at Mulhouse held a retrospective of her work.
