Morris & Co. collaborates with Ben Pentreath on Cornubia collection

 

Sanderson Design Group PLC (AIM: SDG), the luxury interior design and
furnishings group, announces that its Morris & Co. brand is launching a
second collection of fabrics and wallpapers in collaboration with the
influential architect and designer Ben Pentreath following the success of his
first collection, Queen Square, which re-presented William Morris designs in
innovative colourways.

The new collection, Cornubia, will be launched in March this year at London
Design Week and comprises 18 fabrics and 18 wallpapers in multiple colourways.
The collection will include two patterns from the Morris & Co. design
archive that have not been printed by the Company for many years.

The colourways of the Cornubia collection are inspired by the coastal
landscape of Cornwall in a palette for spring and summer, including tangerine,
lemon yellow, primrose, soft pinks, blues and bright apple greens.

To support the marketing of Cornubia, Ben Pentreath has redecorated an Arts
& Crafts home on the Cornish coast to showcase the collection's fabrics
and wallpapers in an authentic setting. High resolution images are available

.

The media launch of Cornubia will take place this morning at a press event
during which Ben Pentreath will discuss the collection with interior design
journalists from national, consumer and specialist titles.

Ben Pentreath said: "In developing this new collection, as with Queen Square,
there are two simultaneous excitements. The first is taking timeless and
much-loved classics and casting them in a new light with new colours and
combinations and the second is in reviving old patterns that haven't seen the
light of day for too long. Of particular interest in the Cornubia collection
is the re-release of two large scale patterns that haven't been in production
by Morris & Co. for decades - Merton (formerly Eden) and Woodland Weeds."

Lisa Montague, Sanderson Design Group's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Ben Pentreath demonstrated his outstanding ability to reinvent Morris &
Co. designs for new audiences with the launch in 2020 of the Queen Square
wallpapers and fabrics, which was a highly successful and critically acclaimed
collection. We are very excited to have worked with him on this second
collection, Cornubia, which is again highly innovative in terms of colourways
whilst remaining faithful to the heritage of William Morris and leveraging our
Morris & Co. archive."
