This memo box features the beautiful Seaweed wallpaper design, by J.H. Dearle for Morris & Co, with stunning foil detailing. It contains 450 loose sheets of square note paper, ideal for jotting down notes, messages and aides-mémoire. The handy drawer is invaluable for trinkets or keeping small stationery items tidy. 

About the Artist: Born in Walthamstow, Essex, William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions. This iconic design was created for Morris & Co. by Morris-trained designer John Henry Dearle in 1901.
