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 Catalogue of Craftsman Furniture written by Gustav Stickley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 134 pages. 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.

Download or read book Home Furnishing written by Alice Maude Kellogg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Furnishing: Practical and Artistic There are few homes in which the furnishings might not be altered or modified to advantage. The point to be kept in View is, in the main, how to unite in the best way practical equipment and artistic effect; and this can be accomplished only by the employment of taste, knowledge, experience and judgment. To furnish a home, therefore, requires serious thought, when the end to be attained is one of harmony, simplicity and refinement. T 00 often a house on which an architect has expended his utmost skill is ruined interiorly by ignorance in selecting the furnishings and deco rations. The single choice of a wall paper may mean a disastrous introduction of glaring colours and distracting patterns. Often the mere ar rangement of the furniture becomes as impor tant in obtaining a pleasing interior as the design and finish of the different pieces.
