About Arts & Crafts IndustriesArts & Crafts Industries designs and builds superb furniture based on the uniquely American Arts & Crafts movement. Founded in the late 19th century, the Arts & Crafts movement stressed utilitarian stressing, elegant structure and handmade joinery to complement the architecture and interior design of Craftsman houses of the early 1900s. Arts & Crafts furniture making, as a movement, is based on dedication to quality and integrity.
Inspired by the French Art Nouveau the Arts and Crafts movement began around 1880 and rose to a popular height in America from 1900-1919. Founding members, such as Gustav Stickley, William Morris, and the Greene and Greene brothers, rejected the ornamentation and grandeur of Victorian décor. They contended that the other contemporary styles disguised structure and accepted cheap reproductions rather than authentic constructions. The Arts and Crafts movement is said to have even inspired and influenced the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Gorgeous SofaI bought one of these couches from a designer and I absolutely love it. The leather is supple and the wood is warm and of quality construction. I love that the seat is a single cushion as there are no cushions to turn of lose things in. It's a piece that rivals some of the Stickley and Roycroft (newer) pieces that I've seen up close. I used to collect Arts & Crafts/Prairie pieces and I am proud to put this item in my home. Linda NY, NY
