PROVENANCE: JACQUELINE DUNCAN OBE: Book acquired along with other Jacqueline Duncan owned books. JACQUELINE DUNCAN:Jacqueline Duncan OBE, Dean Inchbald School of Design. Founded the Inchbald School of Interior Design in 1960, extending this to a Faculty in Garden Design in 1972. Interior design was flourishing in America as a respected adjunct to architecture. When Bill Pahlmann, one of the most talented and successful exponents of the US interior design industry visited London with a number of fellow decorators in about 1958 he expressed horror that there was neither a training centre or profession body. Following an impassioned lecture from Bill, I resolved to fill the gaps and started Inchbald in 1960. In 1962 I invited the senior exponents of interior design to come together, including David Hicks, (trained as a painter) John Siddeley (once an actor) and Jon Bannenberg (once a child prodigy concert pianist), to discuss the possibility of forming a professional association. The fourth member of this group was, of course, Michael Inchbald, my husband and an architect. However they failed to come to any constructive conclusions so the idea lay dormant for a year or two. It was subsequently revived by a businessman, Godfrey Bonsack, who ensured the Association rose like a phoenix from the muddle, and in due course became the respected British Institute of Interior Designers. The foundation in 1960 of the Inchbald set the pace for the structured education and training of Interior Designers and Decorators and indeed gave rise to further successful educational centres.
