MORRIS & CO. X THE HUNTINGTON

Previously unfinished sketches by William Morris, and his studio have been uncovered, revealing a trove of original artwork archived at The Huntington. Thoughtfully completed by our design studio, these pieces have been transformed into 26 brand-new wallpaper and fabric designs honouring the original artworks. Launching the first original Morris designs in more than 150 years, this landmark collection spans printed wallpapers, borders and friezes, alongside beautifully coordinated stripes, handcrafted weaves, damasks, and embroideries.

“We hope William Morris and J. H. Dearle would be proud that we’ve followed the design trail they set out, bringing these designs to life as a creative team spread over the centuries. The Co. in Morris & Co. is alive and well in The Unfinished Works.”

Jess Clayworth, Lead Designer, Morris & Co.

THE HUNTINGTON

Comprising a library, art museum, and botanical gardens in San Marino, California, The Huntington is a collections-based research and educational institution founded in 1919 by Henry and Arabella Huntington. Its extensive holdings include over 12 million items spanning the 11th to 21st centuries, alongside renowned collections of fine art and botanical landscapes open to the public. Since 1999, it has been home to a vast collection of William Morris and Morris & Co. materials – from original textile designs and stained glass sketches to more than 10,000 pages from Morris’s Kelmscott Press – preserving a world of pattern and craft for future generations to explore.

IN THE STUDIO

Design boundaries have been pushed, as we believe William Morris would have done, to celebrate craft at every turn, producing designs precisely as Morris and Dearle would have envisaged, using their notes and references, where available, as guidance. All designs are created in the Morris & Co. studio in Chiswick, London.

 

 

NEW DESIGN

CORNFLOWER

A design by the artistic hands of John Henry Dearle, Cornflower is a bold composition in his signature vine-like style.

An inscription in the margin of the original archive document reads, “Will something like this do/ for the suggested staircase paper/ a la vine tapestry?/ H.D.” signalling the wonderful artist-to-artist connection this collection embraces across the centuries.

Cornflower is a celebration of florals, featuring tulips, acanthus, daisies and, of course, the cornflower itself.
