William Morris

William Morris was a British textile designer associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement. He was a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and production methods.
He was also a poet, artist, philosopher, typographer and political theorist. In 1861, with a group of friends, he started the decorating business Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., providing beautiful, handcrafted products and furnishings for the home.
Morris was motivated by the desire to provide affordable "art for all" and driven by his boundless enthusiasm, the company's output was prolific.
