William Morris (1834–1896) is one of the most renowned figures in the decorative arts. As a textile designer, he developed an original style that charmed his contemporaries and has since become a point of reference for all those interested in design and decoration. His creative approach was characterized by his pronounced views on what constitutes beauty and a firm belief in the essential value of art and handicraft. The Arts and Crafts movement, inspired by the ideals of Morris and the social theorist John Ruskin, had as much of an anti-industrial ideological component as it did an aesthetic teaching. This Windrush pattern comes from a pencil and watercolour sketch that William Morris worked on in 1881–1883. Designed for block-printed cotton, Windrush highlights the creative approach Morris took to revealing elements from the natural world in his decorative furnishing fabrics. The rich pattern of this Morris Windrush design reflects his abiding interest in naturalism. This is a reproduction of a textile crafted in 1881, the time when Morris’ work was celebrated internationally, and it remains a popular pattern to this day.   Product: Notebook Pages: 80 Pages Material: 300 gsm decorative printed cover paper / 100 gsm cream-coloured FSC-certified, acid-free sustainable forest paper / Saddle-stitch binding
