The Morris Furniture Group has enjoyed a rich and successful history spanning three generations of the Morris family. Born in the late Nineteenth century, Harris Morris steered the Morris Furniture Company through production for top hotels, Cunard liners, thousands of cinema seats, cabinets for radios and Wurlitzer jukeboxes.
Harris's son Neil ensured Morris played a key part in the war effort helping to produce Enfield rifles, barrage balloons and Mosquito aircraft. A magnificent bedroom suite was created as a wedding present for Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Crafting first class cabinet furniture for the Queen Mary and QE2 liners was the springboard for Morris's launch into domestic furniture in the post war boom.
