	William Morris - a brief biography
		Morris felt as deeply about the quality of design as he did about the quality of life and believed that the two were intrinsically entwined.

	Feature: William Morris
		William Morris (1834-96) is best known as an artist-designer: his textile and wallpaper patterns, such as ‘Willow’ (1874), ‘Snakeshead’ (1876) and ‘Medway’ (1885), which were innovative in the late nineteenth century, have achieved classic status and remain popular today.
