Design integrity cannot be undervalued, whether you’re working on a historic renovation or incorporating a piece of antiquity into a modern interior. A living archive is a precious resource which can only exist where heritage and provenance are respected. Style Library Contract’s dedicated design studios capture this ethos perfectly, creating authentic designs that are relevant for today’s interiors.
Morris & Co.’s new Melsetter collection showcases the incredible talents of May Morris, daughter of William and one of the most influential figures in English embroidery. The collection includes beautiful wallpapers and fabrics of original and reimagined designs, each with their own historical story.
