The Borage swatch features William Morris's 1883 floral pattern, block printed with multiple axes of symmetry for a structured yet organic visual rhythm. Its hand-block printing technique preserves the subtle variations and tactile character inherent to Morris's original production method. The design draws from botanical sources, with the borage flower rendered in a lively, repeating arrangement across the surface.
William Morris, a close friend of master engraver Emery Walker, crafted the lively 'Borage' floral pattern in 1883, drawing inspiration from nature. Beloved by bees, this pattern is a lively, spirited floral design with multiple axes of symmetry, creating a captivating focal point in any room. We've carefully block printed 'Borage' onto lampshades, capturing Morris' original technique's timeless charm and unique variations, as once seen in Walker's Hammersmith home-a beautiful blend of history and craftsmanship.
