Borage

Morris & Co. are thrilled to re-introduce Borage, an 1883 design by William Morris. Originally conceived as a furnishing fabric, Borage’s spirited floral pattern and multiple axes of symmetry bring a lively point of visual interest to any furniture item. Beloved by bees and other pollinators, Borage is a perfect example of William Morris drawing ideas about ornamenting interiors from the natural world.

Borage re-enters the Morris & Co. range due to the collaboration collection with Emery Walker’s House, the historic home of noted typographer and close friend of William Morris. Walker, dutiful to the design ideas of his friend William Morris, has used Borage as a furnishing fabric in his drawing room to great effect.
