If you like your technology served with a healthy dose of aesthetic flair, then allow us to introduce you to a pleasingly unexpected team-up between Microsoft and storied design house Liberty.

Combining Microsoft’s digital wizardy with Liberty’s iconic hand-drawn florals, the partnership sees the laser-etched Surface Pro 9 and Surface Pro keyboard made over with an exclusive Liberty print, and frankly, it looks pretty dreamy.

The pattern, overlayed onto close-up bloom petals, was hand-designed by Liberty’s team of creators. “We started to do very loose line drawings of the bloom,” explains Liberty’s lead designer Adam Herbert, “and really started to think about a virtually created flower, but translated into a Liberty print. 

“We took something that was created in a very modern, cutting-edge way, and redrew it into something that is Liberty. And I think that was a really exciting juxtaposition.”

Meanwhile, the technical spec is as high-performance as you’d expect from Microsoft, with the keyboard boasting a super-responsive design for fast and accurate typing, plus backlit keys and a large multi-touch glass trackpad. It also boasts a nifty click in experience, which triggers the Surface App to download an exclusive Windows Theme to carry those visuals through to the on-screen experience.

“We’re bringing art and beauty and technology together in a way that is personal and expressive,” says Elliott Hsu, Microsoft’s Principle Designer. “I think as we’ve come out of the pandemic, devices have become much, much more personal, more personal than people maybe even realise.”

With prices starting at £1,099.99, the new kit goes on sale from today, with the range available to shop from either Liberty or the Microsoft store. Consider us sold.
