William Morris Pimpernel - Place Mat quotation Catalan numbersPimpernel was designed by William Morris in 1876 as a wallpaper. The design was a part of the Arts and Crafts movement in Europe and North America which stood for traditional craftsmanship with hints of medieval, romantic, or folk decoration. This piece is influenced by oriental models and is an example of how his interest for Japanese design led to the simplification of lines and colors.
