Ohhhh cool! That reminds me of the wallpapers we used to have at home in the 1960s and 1970s ;-))

His work definitely influenced our lives. His is the only artwork that makes sense to have on everyday objects, in my view.

This reminds me of a building in which I used to work. Morris wallpaper had been in hanging in the hallway for over 100 years, and was still in great condition.

That's so cool. Hope the work was as interesting as the wallpaper - haha.

Das ist ja ein sehr schöner BIldausschnitt von diesen Eck mit diesen Mustern liebe Laura :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I first saw a pyramid, then a linoleum floor, before reading your description and the various comments + your responses.
What else can I add, except that this is a somewhat Warholian testimony to a very dated design. One that consumerist fashion has rendered obsolete, inherited by ultra-fast fashion, initially in clothing but slowly spreading to all areas of everyday life.
A very eloquent and inspiring snapshot, Laura!

You're so kind, Eric.

Yes, Morris's art is definitely not in the ultra-fast fashion category. Though I do wonder at his placing his art on everyday objects - was that the first seed of the ultra-fast trend?

I pause sometimes before passing anything down to my daughter that has heirloom quality to me - because she may very well not see it that way and let it go when she is done.

Your thoughts are very relevant to my personal journey, Laura.
As the heir to my parents, who were themselves heirs to their ancestors, like everyone else I am now faced with the question of preserving memories linked to inherited objects, some of which we have already lost track of. As for my own possessions, some of which are heavy with memories, why should I seek to preserve them after I am gone? These memories will survive for one generation, two at most.
At the same time, they help to shape the personalities of children and of loved ones, which is no small thing...
Usually we leave it up to the heirs to sort it out, don't we? :-)
