ur Mission collection pays tribute to a style rooted in the Arts & Crafts Movement in Europe as well as the traditional furnishings of the American Southwest. Popularized in the early 1900s, it was both a social reaction to industrialization and an aesthetic response by mission furniture makers to Victorian ornamentation. Mission is characterized by a return to handcrafted basics, an emphasis on hearth and home, and utilitarian design with a clean, correct, pronounced geometry. Sturdy, solid oak construction is the norm for mission furniture, in the finishes you see here; leather often cushions the chairs. We hope the original principles of "honesty, simplicity, and usefulness" are reflected in our interpretations of this unmistakable style, hand-made by experienced mission furniture craftsmen. |
