Moquette is the carpet-like fabric covering the seats we sit on in Londons Tubes, buses, trams and Overground trains - and here is a brilliantly colourful guide to all its patterns. n n London Transport has always wanted the best design, be it Charles Holdens superb art deco Tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, its elegant Johnston typeface or Harry Becks Tube map. n n And this pursuit of excellence has extended even to the design of the fabrics it covers our bus and Tube seats with: moquette. In the Thirties top artists like Paul Nash and Enid Marx were commissioned to design patterns; nowadays every line like Crossrail or the Overground gets its own unique, colour-co-ordinated moquette pattern. n n Now, in conjunction with the London Transport Museum, which has the definitive London Transport moquette archive, Andrew Martin has written a delightful, surprising and covetable guide to all these patterns, from the first horse bus to the latest Tube train. n
