Equally at home in a classic bungalow surrounded by antiques or a loft apartment decorated with modern art; the creations of a dedicated contingent of furniture makers take center stage in todays Arts Crafts decor. One-of-a-kind pieces in wood; metal; pottery; tile; glass; and textiles are testaments to the enduring influence of visionary designers such as Gustav Stickley; Greene Greene; and Frank Lloyd Wright. Building on the grand simplicity and exceptional quality that were hallmarks of the original Arts Crafts movement; talented furniture makers fuel the Arts Crafts Revival; still gaining momentum after two decades of growth. Twenty contemporary artisans are profiled in Arts Crafts Style and Spirit; and the works of many more are shown. Their meticulous craftsmanship is seen in wooden furniture; lamps and lighting fixtures of metal; mica; and art glass; handmade vases and one-of-a-kind tiles; linen table runners and pillows. The Arts Crafts tradition is not only upheld by contemporary designer-craftspeople but expanded and refined for a new generation of collectors and aficionados. The result is a simple; elegant approach to living that makes any home a refuge.
