The Pomegranate William Morris 2027 Wall Calendar celebrates the richly patterned world of one of the nineteenth century's most influential designers. A leader in both the styles and politics of his time, William Morris viewed his patterns as an art form and a means of social commentary alike, believing decorative design could be a beautiful expression of social ideals.
In response to the industrial design and manufacturing of the Machine Age, Morris and his counterparts at Morris & Co., including some designs by John Henry Dearle, also featured in this calendar, championed traditional craftsmanship, creating wallpapers and fabrics that transformed intertwining leaves, flowers and vines into elaborate botanical patterns. Their work and philosophy helped inspire the artists around them, playing a defining role in the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement.
The calendar opens to a generous 60 x 30 cm, closing to a compact 30 x 30 cm square, with large monthly grids offering ample room to write. The week begins on Sunday throughout, with Canadian statutory holidays and lunar cycles marked, plus mini reference calendars for quick orientation across the year.
Printed on FSC certified paper using soy based inks, this calendar reflects Pomegranate's considered approach to both art and environmental responsibility. Every order is packed and shipped from the company's own warehouse in Portland, Oregon.
