One of the Arts and Crafts cabinetmaker is Voysey. He combined gothic
and Japanese details. Below is a picture of one of Voysey's sideboards.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect and designer in the
Arts and Crafts Movement later period. He introduced exaggerated proportions
and the furniture was used simple in geometric forms. The chairs he created had
extremely high backs and he used a lot of violet, silver and gold painted
ornamentation. The most important building of his career is the Glasglow School
of Art.

Discussion:
I reviewed Paige S's blog and she did a good job on explaining each
chair design. She found a great current application of a chair from Mackintosh.
I also reviewed Flor's blog and I learned about the Red House Philip Webb. I
really liked how she compared the designs and textiles to Lilly Pulitzer. That
was a great current day application comparison.
Here is a short video clip explaining the Arts and Craft Movement. This video does a great job on explaining how the furniture was made and and how the movement came about.
