“THE PAST IS NOT DEAD, IT IS LIVING IN US, AND WILL BE ALIVE IN THE FUTURE WHICH WE ARE NOW HELPING TO MAKE. ” -William Morris

The 19th century aesthetic movement—championed by one William Morris—valued craft, nature, and art for art’s sake. Now, in this time of reflection, design is drawing on its roots in the decorative arts to gather inspiration and strength. In this issue, Henry delves into historical crafts like tapestry weaving, cabinetry, and decorative painting, and shares new collections from designers renewing those traditions with revitalized pattern and vibrant color.

Welcome, friends, to the new aesthetic movement.
