Insights

William Morris (1834 - 1896) was a revolutionary designer in Victorian England, encouraging people to withdraw from the fascination towards industrialisation and back to the respect for craftsmanship. Hailed as the founding father of the Arts and Crafts movement, Morris worked across multiple disciplines as an author, artist, political and social activist, conservationist, and businessman.
