About William Morris

William Morris (1834 - 1896) was an artist, a craftsman, poet, scholar and a revolutionary thinker. Today, he may be best known for his wallpaper and textile patterns, but his work transformed Victorian England’s view on craftsmanship, design and fashion. Morris became one of the most influential figures in the Arts and Crafts movement. He began experimenting with various crafts, designing furniture and interiors. He was personally involved in the manufacture as well as design, which was the hallmark of the movement that advocated individuality and know-how over the mass production and uniformity of the industrialism.
