One objective of his company was to lower the artistic production to make it available to workers and not just an economic elite. The Morris & Co. produced furniture, decorative items, lace, jewelry, stained glass, carpets and tapestries. In 1866 the company began to produce profits and distribute them among the workers following the socialist principles of its owner.
