Arts and Crafts

In the late nineteenth century, art critic John Ruskin and textile designer William Morris advocated the embracement of natural patterns inspired by the British countryside. This movement rejected the industrialization of society. So, if you’ve spent your summer obsessing over Instagram and have been plugged into your iPhone, this season’s appreciation for the Arts and Crafts movement make it the perfect time for a digital detox.

Think patchwork, foliage prints and the smell of patchouli – we present the greatest pieces and designers for a wonderfully artisanal autumn.
