The Beauty of Life Sunflower Wallpaper - Sunflower - 217191 - Morris & Co

Introducing a brand-new design from Morris & Co. Delivered to the Birmingham Society of Arts on February 19th 1880, The Beauty of Life is the lecture title of William Morris’s passionate appeal against the ill effects of industrialised capitalism. This rallying cry is forever immortalised on a high-drama wallpaper, ornamented with quintessentially Morris motifs; scrolling foliage, chattering birds and beautiful script inspired by his own Kelmscott Press.

The Beauty of Life is introduced to the Morris & Co. range for the Emery Walker’s House collection. The lettering is inspired by William Morris’s own book-printing press, The Kelmscott Press, a feat he realised with the unwavering support and guidance of expert typographer, Sir Emery Walker.
