Arts & Crafts Industries Ltd. 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, 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.

Arts & Crafts Industries Mission Collection

Arts and Crafts furniture was often called "mission-style" furniture.  No one is certain how it got that name.  Some believe it is related to the philosophy of the movement, that is the furniture was functional and had a "mission" to be used.  Other believe it was because the furniture was derivative of furniture designs found in Franciscan missions in California.

Arts & Crafts Industries design and build Mission style furniture that embodies the best traditions of that  style.  Explore our Mission collection and experience our occasional tables, accessories, bookcases, bedroom and dining room furniture.  After you've visited our website visit the nearest Arts & Crafts Showroom.   To learn more about our Mission collection please click here:  Arts & Crafts Industries Mission Collection.

Arts & Crafts Industries Greene & Greene Collection

Architects, Charles and Henry Greene were West Coast participants in the Arts & Crafts movement.  They designed furniture that was simultaneously stylish and rugged.  Charles Greene combined the American Arts & Crafts style with Asian influences, creating designs that were absolutely stunning.

Arts & Crafts Industries Crofter Collection

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish Architect, is closely associated with the design and manufacture of furniture.  His earliest designs show a strong affinity to the Arts and Crafts movement.  Much of his inspiration came from the simple furniture used in the Scottish Highlands by the Crofters, Scottish sharecroppers.  Because they lived in small cottages, angles were used to conserve space.  Today, the angles are considered striking and stylish. 

Arts & Crafts Industries design and build Crofter style furniture that embodies the best traditions of that  style.  Explore our Crofter collection and experience our occasional tables, bookcases, bedroom and dining room furniture.  After you've visited our website visit the nearest Arts & Crafts Industries showroom and experience our furniture in person.  Arts & Crafts Industries Crofter Collection.

Properly built, solid wood furniture is the best long term solution and heirloom quality is always the optimal approach. Here is what you need to look for in heirloom quality:...

Wikipedia on the Arts & Crafts Movement 

The Arts and Crafts Movement was a British, Canadian, Australian, and American aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. Inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and a romantic idealization of a craftsperson taking pride in their personal handiwork, it was at its height between approximately 1880 and 1910.

It was a reformist movement that influenced architecture, decorative arts, cabinet making, crafts, and even the "cottage" garden designs of William Robinson or Gertrude Jekyll. Its best-known practitioners were William Morris, Charles Robert Ashbee, T. J. Cobden Sanderson, Elbert Hubbard, Walter Crane, Nelson Dawson, Phoebe Anna Traquair, Herbert Tudor Buckland, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Christopher Dresser, Edwin Lutyens, William De Morgan, Ernest Gimson, William Lethaby, Edward Schroeder Prior, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, George Washington Maher, Dirk van Erp, Charles Voysey, Christopher Whal...
