Sanderson takes us through its SS25 launches – from William Morris inspired weaves to an organic colour palette defined by clay work…
Clarke & Clarke finds inspiration in William Morris’s legacy once more with a collection of weaves inspired by the designer, poet and environmentalist. Inspired by one of the most renowned designers in British history, William Morris Weaves, the third capsule collection in this story plays into Clarke & Clarke’s love for expressing eclectic British style with reinterpretations of some of William Morris’s most adored prints.

Harlequin, with designer and ceramicist Henry Holland, presents with artisanal attitude, a textural fabric and wallpaper collection for AW24. Combining Harlequin’s mastery of colour with Henry Holland’s signature style in clay work, an effortlessly curated fabric and wallpaper collection is revealed. Holland’s love of Nerikomi, the Japanese pottery technique, and a dive into our extensive archive for hand-selected designs has culminated in a textural collection for interiors.

Tones derived from grounded, chocolatey hues pervade the collection for designs that feel artisanal, organic and effortless in equal measure. “A great colour palette mixes well between tones and shades within a cohesive story,” commented Holland. “This collection’s palette can be interpreted in a multitude of ways for people to curate looks that reflect who they are… this synthesis of colour has universal, useable appeal. I can’t wait to see how the collection is applied in interiors.”
Translating Henry’s work in ways not seen before, statement wallpapers and textural fabrics for drapery and upholstery cocoon interiors in organic layers of design.

Morris & Co. the original brand founded by William Morris in 1861, is thrilled to introduce Bedford Park, a fabric and wallpaper collection with a radical spirit. Over the years, Bedford Park has found itself at the beating heart of change. At the forefront of the Garden Suburb Movement in the 1870s, Bedford Park was also a mere stone’s throw from where Victorian arts pioneer William Morris was masterminding a tremendous shift in design. Later, the area became the home and site of early work to disciple of Morris, architect and artist, C.F.A. Voysey and the setting for Morris’s contemporaries, whose work would move the dial of design ever forward.
Bedford Park delights in the innovation and radical spirit of this collective of designers, William Morris, C.F.A. Voysey, Allan Francis Vigers and J.H. Dearle, whose work sets the visual scene, creating all a manner of striking designs, while remaining dedicated to the principles of the craft with every stroke of a brush and pencil marking.

It is Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857-1941) whose lasting architectural legacy is most famed in this group of distinguished designers. The renowned Voysey House, recognisable for its clean lines and seamless connection with nature, reflects Voysey’s dedication to those principles championed by Morris. Voysey was a fierce proponent for nature-inspired textile designs, and his Tulip & Bird design (1895) takes its place proudly in the books of Bedford Park, its deep, gem-like tones, reminiscent of the ceramic work for which Voysey was also noted.
From J.H. Dearle (1859-1932) the artist behind the iconic Leicester (1912) and Golden Lily (1899), once Art Director of Morris & Co., to Allan Francis Vigers (1858-1921), a contemporary of Morris, whose Campanula (1900), has been vibrantly recoloured for this collection, the designers define Bedford Park’s character.
The unmistakable artistry of these craftsmen has been honoured and uplifted in the carnivalesque vibrancy of the collection. Gem-like colours, lively, sugar sweet tones and saturated contrasting colourways highlight these iconic flowerheads and tumbling tendrils in great depths of colour. Day and night contrast, lifting these striking designs from the ground, reminiscent of their Arts & Crafts origins, recapturing the radical zest and design punch of the time. From Pimpernel’s psychedelic nod to the 60s, to the calming yet retro hues of Laceflower in Tobacco & Pistachio, this collection delights in a disruptively powerful palette.
