Living in the Arts and Crafts Style by Robin Dawson
In an era of mechanical mass production, the Arts and Crafts movement called for a return to honest, handcrafted techniques, based on purity of design and natural materials. Living in the Arts and Crafts Style is the ultimate practical workbook for anyone looking to capture the spirit of the Arts and Crafts style in the home. Arranged by element - Walls and Paint, Carpets and Flooring, Fabrics, Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings, Ornaments and Decoration - each chapter shows the range of options available with photographs of real Arts & Crafts rooms. Numbered swatches cross refer to detachable fold out swatch pages at the back of the book. The three concertina-format swatch cards are perforated for easy removal - perfect for toting around while shopping. A back pocket makes for easy storage once the swatches are removed. A handy sourcelist in the back of the book directs readers to the vendors who carry traditional Arts and Crafts home decor.
Robin Dawson is a London-based interior design consultant. He studied fine art and stained glass at Hornsey College of Art before moving to the United States, where he designed many windows for contemporary churches and public buildings.
