The Unfinished Works

In a remarkable collaboration between Morris & Co. and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, The Unfinished Works collection breathes new life into the visionary artistry of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Drawn from The Huntington’s extensive archive of rare and incomplete Morris & Co. sketches, these once-forgotten designs have been thoughtfully uncovered, completed, and reimagined by the modern Morris & Co. studio in Chiswick, London. Each piece celebrates the enduring dialogue between past and present - a creative conversation spanning centuries.

Using authentic handcrafted techniques and heritage printing and weaving processes, wallpapers, embroideries, and fabrics in The Unfinished Works capture the unmistakable Morris aesthetic while introducing fresh interpretations for contemporary interiors.

This collaboration is a moment in art history - the final brushstroke on designs that began in the nineteenth century, now brought to completion by the artists of today.
