Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Craftsman Furnishings: Furniture, Leathers, Metal-Work, Fabrics and Needle-Work It is not. Craftsman furniture is what its name implies, - the result of most carefully thought-out designs founded on sound principles of construction, to which is added the best possible workmanship, from the first selection and careful drying of the wood to meet varying climatic conditions, to the final application of the soft, dull finish that preserves all the sturdy woodiness of its character while leav ing the whole surface satin-smooth to the touch. Simplicity and straightforwardness of construction has always been the leading characteristic of Crafts man furniture, but never crudity. Our models are designed for use and comfort and durability, and the beauty that is peculiarly their own arises from the directness with which they meet these requirements as well as from the structural integrity of the design itself. Every piece of Craftsman furniture is as well made as it can be. No applied ornament or simulated structural feature is allowed, but the real structural features are so carefully studied that each one is an essential element in the beauty of the piece, earning its right to exist by really doing the work for which it is placed there. Each piece is actually held to gether by mortise and pin, or other structural device, and is so sturdy in make and material that it should last for generations.

Download or read book Craftsman Homes written by Gustav Stickley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Craftsman Homes: Architecture and Furnishings of the American Arts and Crafts Movement S A nation we do not easily submit to coercion. We want a hand in the government, national or local. We are pretty direct if we do not like a senator or a governor, and express our Opinion fully of our ministers and college presidents. In more intimate matters of courtship and marriage we regard ourselves as more independent than any other nation. We marry usually whom we please, and live where we please, -and work as we please but when it comes to that most vital matter - building a home, individuality and independence seem to vanish, and we are browbeaten alike by architect, builder, contractor, interior decorator, picture dealer and furniture man. We live in any old house that anyone else has discarded, and we submit to all manner of tyrannies as to the size, style and finish of our houses, impertinences that we would not permit in any other detail of life. We not only imitate foreign ideals in our architecture, but we have become artificial and unreal in all the detail of the finish and fittings of our homes. How many of us would dare to rise up and assert sufficient individuality to plan and build a house that exactly suited our personal ideal of comfort and beauty, and represented our station in life? And to what extent can we hope for finer ideals in a country that is afraid to be sincere in that most significant feature of national achievement - the home. We are a country of self-supporting men and women, and we cannot expect to develop an honest significant architecture until we build homes that are simple, yet beautiful, that proclaim fine democratic standards and that are essentially appropriate to busy intelligent people. That this same state of affairs prevails somewhat in other lands (though nowhere to the same extent as in America) we realize from the writing of two well-known English architects, Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, who in a series of lectures published under the title of The Art of Building a Home have entered a plea for greater honesty in architecture and greater sincerity in decoration which ought to strike a responsive chord in the heart of every American who has contemplated the foolish, unthinking, artificial structures which we have vainly called homes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Craftsman Furniture: January, 1909 I suppose it was because I began as a farmer boy and got my training for the work I was ultimately to do by doing as a matter of course the thing which had to be done, that I grew up with the habit of going at things in a natural way. The farmer boy is not given to theorizing about his work, but he soon learns to accept unquestioningly the fact that certain things have to be done and that the best way is for him to get right at it and get them done as soon as possible. Therefore, when the idea came to me that the thing for me to do was to make better and simpler furniture, I naturally went at it in the most direct way. Having been for many years a furniture manufacturer, I was of course familiar with all the traditional styles, and in trying to make the kind of fur niture which I thought was needed in our homes, I had no idea of attempting to create a new style, but merely tried to make furniture which would be simple, durable, comfortable and fitted for the place it was to occupy and the work it had to do. It seemed to me that the only way to do this was to cut loose from all tradition and to do away with all needless ornamentation, re turning to plain principles of construction and applying them to the making of simple, strong, comfortable furniture, and I firmly believe that Craftsman furniture is the concrete expression of this idea. Because of the sturdiness and beauty of our American white oak, I chose it as the best wood for the kind of furniture I had in mind, and the style, comfortably with any good simple scheme of interior decoration and furnish ing, it yet holds out a strong temptation to develop an entire scheme of furnish ing along the same lines. So we began in the metal shop to make electric lighting fixtures, fireplace fittings, trays, candlesticks and all manner of use ful household articles, designed on the same general principles as the furni ture and therefore just as essentially a part of one general scheme of furnish ing. The fabrics in their turn were made into curtains, portieres, pillows, scarfs, centerpieces and the like, and decorated with needlework and applique in strong simple designs and colorings which belonged to the oaken furniture as naturally as the leaves on a tree belong to the trunk. So, step by step, we grew naturally into the designing and arranging, first of rooms, and then of entire schemes of interior decoration.
