Though the functional beauty of the Arts and Crafts movement has long been a part of American culture; it is now revitalized by simplicity seekers trying to counteract the fast pace of contemporary living. The elegant simplicity of Craftsman ideals is time defying; as the rooms and furnishings of The Beautiful Necessity: Decorting With Arts and Crafts will reveal. From the traditional--Greene and Greene; Gustav Stickley; Frank Lloyd Wright; and others--to the contemporary--Berkely Mills; Warren Hiles; East/West Furniture Design; and more--the Arts and Crafts movement is represented. All 140 exquisite photographs demonstrate how the Craftsman style has brought stunning warmth yet utilitarian ease to homes past and present.
