Morris & Co. collaboration with the Emery Walker Trust

 

Sanderson Design Group PLC (AIM: SDG), the luxury interior design and
furnishings group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a sponsorship
agreement with the Emery Walker Trust, the charity that preserves the London
house of Emery Walker, a typographer, engraver and friend of William Morris.
Under the agreement, the Company's Morris & Co. brand will launch a
collection of fabrics, wallpapers, bedding and homewares based on
inspirational items in Emery Walker's House, a museum to the Arts and Crafts
movement.

The inspirational items in the house, in London's Hammersmith, include
original cushions, rugs, prints and ceramics, including some early Morris
& Co. products such as carpet and wall hangings.

It is expected that The Emery Walker House Collection by Morris & Co. will
be launched in the Spring of next year. Further details about Emery Walker's
House are available at this link: https://www.emerywalker.org.uk/

Hugh Belsey, Chairman of the Emery Walker Trust, said: "Emery Walker's House,
at 7 Hammersmith Terrace in West London, was decorated and furnished in the
nineteenth century by William Morris and other leading members of the Arts and
Crafts movement. We are delighted that Sanderson Design Group has taken
inspiration from original items in our collections, to create a new range of
products that will be launched in early 2023. My fellow trustees join me in
thanking most warmly Sanderson Design Group for their inspirational
generosity."

Lisa Montague, Sanderson Design Group's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We are delighted to have signed this agreement with the Emery Walker Trust,
the custodian of the treasure trove of Arts and Crafts designs in Emery
Walker's House. We have developed a strong relationship with the Trust during
the past two years, and helped them with a small grant during Covid. We are
excited by the potential of this sponsorship agreement and the exciting new
Morris & Co. collection that we expect to launch next Spring."
