The Morris & Co. Bower lamp shade brings the 1877 registered floral pattern to life with its intricate foliage and flower motifs printed onto cotton. The design draws from William Morris's original 'Bower' pattern, known for its dense, layered botanical composition and rich colour depth. Its straight empire silhouette maintains an even spread of the printed design across the shade's surface.
Emery Walker, a master engraver and close collaborator of William Morris, lived just a few hundred yards from Morris in Hammersmith, both enjoying views of the Thames. Among the wonderful designs created by Morris and found in Walker’s house is the enchanting 'Bower' pattern. Registered in 1877, 'Bower' evokes a floral wonderland, brimming with life and vitality. Its name perfectly captures the essence of a pleasant, shaded retreat under trees or climbing plants. We adore how this uplifting design, with its intricate foliage and flowers, has now been beautifully transformed into our lampshades, allowing Morris's timeless creations to live on in modern interiors.
