Microsoft Surface x Liberty Special Edition Pro9 Launch

To celebrate 10 years of Surface design, innovation and craftsmanship, Microsoft has partnered with London’s iconic design house, Liberty, to create a new and exclusive special-edition device and accessory.

The pattern, overlayed onto close-up bloom petals, represents the two brands fusing together. Liberty creators designed the print by hand – a process that led to a new level of bespoke detail in the final colours, materials and engraving of the hardware and integrated click-in software experience. The result: 150 years of Liberty’s art and design has been adapted into a modern,
