The design for this unusual sofa seat is attributed to William Morris and his apprentice and successor Henry Dearle. A watercolour of the design (1880-1890) is at the William Morris Gallery. A panel was woven in about 1910 by Morris & Co after the death of Morris and while Dearle was running the company.

Beth has also produced a larger version of this design suitable for use as a piano stool, a wall hanging or for making into a rug. Called the William Morris Panel, you can see it by clicking here.
