"The naturalistic, floral patterns of the Arts and Crafts movement are
such a firm favourite with the British establishment that it is easy to
forget the idealistic, rebellious roots of the style revolution. Angered
by the demoralising effects rising industry and mass production was
having on British society at large, writer John Ruskin, designer William
Morris and a whole generation of libertine artists, designers and
writers that followed set about leading radical societal reform,
marching towards fairer, democratic methods of production."
