William Morris
William Morris was an influential designer & poet from Victorian England. His designs are known for their natural motifs, their profound wealth of detail and their flowing design language. Morris drew inspiration from the English countryside and each pattern is characterized by recurring themes from nature.
By weaving the Morris pattern, we at Ekelund embrace part of the English tradition and unite it with our Swedish heritage. Creates a bridge between the past and the future, and between the English and Swedish landscape.
Like Morris, we share the vision of creating designs that not only reflect our time but stand the test of time, ensuring that each product is as relevant today as it was when it was first created.
- The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. - William Morris, 1884.
