Morris & Co Fabric

 

Morris & Co Fabrics at No Chintz


Morris & Co was founded by William Morris in 1861, and the archive designs that built his reputation are still being reimagined today through fresh colourways and modern printing and weaving techniques. As an Australian stockist of Morris & Co fabric, we help clients bring this Arts and Crafts heritage into contemporary curtains and upholstery.

Few textile houses can trace their design language back more than 160 years, which is part of what makes Morris & Co such an interesting choice for a heritage-minded interior. Archive patterns like Bachelors Button, Chrysanthemum and Marigold have been recoloured by designers such as Ben Pentreath in fresh, contemporary palettes, so the same 19th century line work reads as current rather than dated.

Because these prints were originally designed for wallpaper as much as fabric, repeat and pattern matching matter more than usual, particularly for a large-scale design like Pure Bachelors Button. Our team can help you work out fabric quantities for curtains or upholstery so the pattern lines up correctly across widths. If there's a Morris & Co design you can't find below, get in touch and we'll do our best to source it.
