Morris

William Morris (1834-1896) was one of the great figures of the 19th century-a pioneer of modern design. His work as a visionary designer, manufacturer, political activist and social reformer had a profound influence on his contemporaries and on subsequent generations. As founder and owner of Morris & Co. he revitalised the craft tradition and established a simplified, popular and highly aesthetic look.This richly illustrated overview focuses on all aspects of Morris's design work-interiors, stained glass, furniture, tiles, wallpapers, embroidery, textiles, tapestries, carpets, and calligraphy-while detailing the events of his remarkable life.
