As a decisive designer in the European design history, William Morris, arguably,has a profound impact among modern design field. His achievements not onlyreflected on the design philosophy, but also deeply embodied in decorative patternfield, pattern design is the most important part of all Morris'artistic creations, so thisarticle is trying to make a profound analysis to the structure and color of WilliamMorris'pattern designs based on his pattern works, and eventually to prove the messysense of order of the big works and the cause of formation of the planar vision.Morris'pattern design and design practice are closely connected to each other, so ifyou want to completely understand the artistic achievements of his pattern design, youshould embark on his pattern design itself, and also integrate his design philosophyand practice, because only if have you changed the patterns into products and made itsnormal functions come true, his pattern design philosophy can then be completelyreflected.William Morris combined the pattern design philosophy of formalization andplanarization together with his slogan of"design should be harmonized with natruallaw", forming his unique personal style and then spreading it to later generations, hehas also undated the vocabulary of pattern design in its own day, introduced natrualobjects into design arena. In the end of the article, he also indicated that withtechnology advancing, resources reducing, and living environment deteriorating,human and the environment can together form a benign cycle and achieve the purposeof sustainable development as long as design can follow the natural law vitually.
