The V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) celebrates design and creativity in all its forms. It was founded in London in 1852 to advance cultural knowledge, and inspire makers, creators and innovators everywhere through a diverse collection of objects from around the world. Today, the V&A continues to share a 5000-year-old story of creativity, through its ever-evolving collection spanning every creative discipline, from art, design, fashion, photography and furniture to theatre, performance, architecture, and ceramics. 

Drawing from the museum’s unparalleled collections, we have created techos and stationery items inspired by the museum's objects, including designs by William Morris and his creative companions.

The front cover features William Morris’ 1883 textile design, Strawberry Thief, depicting thrushes cheekily stealing strawberries from Morris’ garden.

The woven label pen holder bears Morris’ famous words: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

The back features his 1912 Leicester wallpaper design, rich with stylised foliage and botanical details.

We hope you enjoy these timeless designs loved by people around the world, right at your fingertips.
