Title
Greene and Greene Furniture of the Arts and Crafts Movement
Description
As a small independent furniture maker I can offer a degree of flexibility and an attention to detail not commonly found in larger shops. I routinely work with a client to adapt the Greene & Greene or Arts & Crafts styles to a more contemporary function.
My influences as a furniture maker/designer have been many. It's within the Arts & Crafts Movement (Craftsman, Mission) that I feel at home though. The ideals of John Ruskin and William Morris have been an inspiration to me. The movements many designers (and craftsmen) such as Gustav Stickley, Harvey Ellis, CFA Voysey, and CR Mackintosh, have all played a part in my development.
But it's the Pasadena architects, Charles and Henry Greene ( Greene and Greene) that have captivated me the most. The furniture from their " Ultimate Bungalow " period (Gamble, Thorsen, Pratt, and Blacker Houses) represents not only the best from the American Arts & Crafts Movement but also some of the most sensitive and thoughtful designs ever produced. Charles Greene's blending of the American Arts & Crafts style with Asian influences was nothing less than divine.
