The Famous British designer of textiles, wallpaper, houses, furniture! His style has been copied by designers of not only textiles but he was also a poet, novelist and social activist . William Morris is featured in museums world wide and was one of the leaders in the Arts and Crafts period in Britain in the mid 1800's, born in 1834 and died in 1896. One of his most famous prints "The Strawberry Thief" still, to this day, is widely used in manchester, draperies, paintings, wallpaper and stationery. A celebration of Morris & Co.’s most enduring designs, the Morden collection takes its name from the South London district home to Merton Abbey Mills, a historic Arts & Crafts site and former factory associated with William Morris. It brings together iconic designs including the instantly recognisable Willow Boughs with its flowing leaf composition, and Simply Severn – originally printed at Merton Abbey. Nature, floral and animal motifs run throughout, rendered in a palette of blues and browns.
