Publisher's Synopsis
The Arts & Crafts movement created furniture and living spaces to coexist with nature rather than dominate it. Its use of earth-tones, natural motifs and building materials, such as earth, wood, iron, tile and stone, helped to blur the distinction between indoors and outdoors. This serene and simple style has undergone a revival in the 1990s; reproduction Arts & Crafts furniture is becoming mass produced; its sturdy construction and elegant simplicity appeals to contemporary needs.;This work is illustrated with colour and black and white photographs which explore every facet of creating Arts & Crafts interiors; wall coverings; furniture; stencilling; mouldings; floors; and accessories.
