{"product_id":"english-arts-crafts-furniture-nancy-r-hiller-9781440350825","title":"English Arts \u0026 Crafts Furniture: Projects \u0026 Techniques for the Modern Maker","description":"\"Arts \u0026amp; Crafts\" has come to be a name for a style of decorative arts, but just try to pin it down. It's a huge challenge, because it encompasses such a broad variety of work. Early pieces, such as some of those by William Morris, draw from more ornate Victorian artifacts. Contrast these with the simpler, medieval-inspired work of Morris, the austere elegance of chairs and built-in cabinetry by Voysey, or furniture produced by the Barnsleys--never mind the clear Art Nouveau influences in much of Mackintosh's work. It quickly becomes clear just how broad this period in design history really is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnglish Arts \u0026amp; Crafts Furniture\u003c\/i\u003e explores the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts movement with a unique perspective on furniture designs inspired by English Arts \u0026amp; Crafts designers.
