From Larger-Than-Life Florals to Reworked Classics — House of Hackney Has Just Reimagined William Morris' Iconic Designs

Image of a living room with a green color scheme. There are two matching accent chairs with a green floral pattern and an ottoman in the same pattern. In the middle of the chairs is a coffee table shaped like a snail.

If there is one characteristic defining current design releases, it's a renewed emphasis on craft. Art and storytelling culminate in handcrafted details, while pattern and color unite to create mood and character. This Autumn, House of Hackney is launching a new collection, The Nature of Morris, that honors the soft rejection of the high-tech, contemporary world with 27 wallpapers, seven fabrics, and a range of home accessories all inspired by the legacy of iconic designer, William Morris.

"Through the collection, we want to revitalize the legacy of William Morris for today — not through nostalgia, but with creativity as a form of activism," explains House of Hackney's co-founder, Javvy Royle. "We tell a story where Nature is not just an aesthetic, but a collaborator. Where craft is not a trend, but resistance. Where beauty is purposeful, rooted in ethics, ecology, and care."
