William Morris is an important figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement that was popular from between 1880-1920.  His beautiful designs are popular the world over.  Morris' belief in beautiful and functional objects in the home parallels a similar viewpoint shared with many Scandinavian designers.  Additionally, Morris, as with many Scandinavians, was inspired by nature creating motifs with intricate detailing and flowing forms.
