Price History
Description
Morris & Co. are thrilled to re-introduce Borage, an 1883 design by William Morris. Originally conceived as a furnishing fabric, Borage’s spirited floral pattern and multiple axes of symmetry bring a lively point of visual interest to any furniture item. Beloved by bees and other pollinators, Borage is a perfect example of William Morris drawing ideas about ornamenting interiors from the natural world. Borage re-enters the Morris & Co. range due to the collaboration collection with Emery Walker’s House, the historic home of noted typographer and close friend of William Morris. Walker, dutiful to the design ideas of his friend William Morris, has used Borage as a furnishing fabric in his drawing room to great effect.
Our Stylist Says
This cushion is a wonderful choice for adding a touch of classic elegance to both traditional and contemporary interiors. I love its detailed, botanical-inspired print, which works particularly well with neutral tones or muted palettes, but can also be paired with richer colours for a layered look. It’s versatile enough to sit on a sofa or armchair, or even used in a bedroom for a refined finishing touch. Practical styling tips include mixing it with textured throws or other patterned cushions to create depth, and keeping the surrounding decor simple to let its intricate design stand out. Its crisp design and quality fabric make it both a decorative and functional piece for elevating your space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
