The distinction between functional craft and fine art has been long debated. nineteenth-century artist attempted to bring both together by creating a design company in england with the goal of people improve their lives by make functional objects more artistic.

The answer is William Morris.
William Morris was a 19th Century English artist, novelist and social activist. His name is strongly associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. The company that he co-founded in 1861 had a strong influence on interior decoration, by designing furniture, wallpaper and tapestries. The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international movement attempting to bridge decorative and fine arts.
