V&A WILLIAM MORRIS COLLECTION
As a visionary leader of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the late 19th century, William Morris made a lasting impression on the realm of design, fashion and interiors. Based on the artistry and elegance of Morris' floral fabrics and wallpaper patterns preserved in the V&A's archive, this exquisite collection of blinds and drapes pays tribute to his remarkable accomplishments and extraordinary legacy.
Morris’ deep appreciation for nature served as a source of creative inspiration for his unique works. His creative patterns cleverly intertwine flowers, trees, birds and animals to bring the outdoor world indoors. He drew inspiration from the rich greenery of his own garden and scenic riverbank strolls. ‘Strawberry Thief’, one of Morris’ most popular textile designs, depicts the cunning thrushes that plucked strawberries from his kitchen garden.
