Birds In Nature by the V&A for The Craft Cotton Company, based on works by C.F.A. Voysey.

C.F.A. Voysey (1857-1941) is one of the best-known and most enduringly popular designers of the Arts & Crafts Movement. A practising architect, he also designed a broad range of applied arts objects, from furniture, ceramics and metalwork to wallpaper, carpets, tiles and fabrics. His two-dimensional designs, are among his best-known works today and are characterized by simple, stylized, rhythmic repeat patterns featuring motifs found in the natural world. Voysey was particularly fond of birds and one of his greatest talents was to reduce their complex forms into blocks of colour, while retaining their main characteristics.
