William Morris

William Morris

William Morris was a British designer, poet and social reformer who became a driving force behind the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 19th century. Born in 1834, Morris rejected the ornate excesses of Victorian design in favor of simplicity, craftsmanship and natural forms. His belief that quality textile design and decorative arts could enrich everyday life positioned him as a pioneering figure in interior decoration, wallpaper design and textile production. Through his writings and lectures, Morris championed a return to handcraftsmanship at a time when the Industrial Revolution was rapidly eroding traditional skills.

Morris learned his craft through a unique blend of academic study, artistic collaboration and hands-on experimentation. While at Oxford University he immersed himself in medieval literature and architecture, forging lifelong friendships with Pre-Raphaelite painters who shared his passion for nature and medieval aesthetics. After graduation he studied pattern making, dyeing and weaving techniques by working directly with artisans and by founding the firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1861. This workshop-school model allowed Morris to develop his signature style—melding historic motifs with innovative color palettes—while training a generation of craftsmen in hand block printing and tapestry weaving.

He became known for his most popular artworks through an enduring series of textile and wallpaper patterns that remain iconic today. Designs such as Strawberry Thief, inspired by thrushes in his own kitchen garden; Willow Bough, with its dancing branch motif; and Trellis, featuring interlacing vines, exemplify the seamless blend of function and beauty at the heart of Morris & Co. These bestselling William Morris wallpaper designs and fabric prints were exhibited at international fairs and commissioned for country houses and town residences throughout Britain and beyond. By combining rich botanical imagery with meticulous handcraft techniques, Morris’s most popular artworks set new standards in decorative design and continue to influence interior trends worldwide.
