(**) William Morris was born in England on March 24, 1834, and died on October 3, 1896; from an affluent family, he was a designer, decorator, painter, and craftsman, but the most important part of his life was his contributions to the Arts & Crafts movement (Arts and Crafts). He was one of its founders and its main ideologue.
In his early years of study, around 1853, he met the writers Edgard Burne-Jones and John Ruskin, who influenced his designs and way of thinking.
Traveling through Belgium and France, where he explores 15th-century art, such as that of Hans Memling and Jan Van Eyck, he admires Gothic cathedrals, establishing these three important artistic inspirations as the foundation of his future work.
William Morris is part of our lives. Many rooms have been decorated with his motifs, and we agree with his political ideas about gender equality, the conservation of national cultural heritage, and natural landscapes. He was a pioneer of the 'green' movement, an advanced talent for his time.
Morris was as conscious of the quality of interior design as he was of the quality of life to be developed within it, viewing them as intimately linked. He advocated for the use of natural materials and encouraged the public to craft artisanal objects. As a convinced socialist, he aspired for workers to enjoy their work and supported free education and an 8-hour workday. He was deeply displeased with the dehumanization that the industrialization process was imposing worldwide.
In 1861, with a group of his talented friends, such as Edward Burne-Jones, Philip Webb, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, he founded a company dedicated to crafting furniture and artisanal accessories, including their famous papers and also developing all kinds of crafts such as wood bending, watercolors, upholstery, and more.
Morris continued writing throughout his life: poetry, socialist manifestos, and fantastic stories, which are believed to have influenced J. R. R. Tolkien himself.
