| Shaker furniture was initially designed for the religious colonies of Shakers founded in America in the last
quarter of the 18th century, characterized by austerity of decoration and truth to materials. Deeply
dedicated to the ideals of communal living and asceticism, the Shakers designed and constructed
furniture that reflected their belief that to make a thing well was in itself an act of prayer and their
conviction that the appearance of a thing should follow upon its function. Each item was fashioned solely
to serve its intended use, and all superfluous decorations, such as inlays and moldings were eliminated.
Featuring a simple design, clean angles, gentle curves and tapers, the Shaker style possesses not only a
timeless beauty that is at once antique and modern, but a light graceful quality that endears it to
generation after generation of furniture enthusiasts.
Like Shaker, the Arts and Crafts style or Mission –style furniture emphasized designs that were simple in
form, without ornate decoration. They tended to emphasize the qualities of the materials used. It was
“good citizens furniture,” functional, sturdy and its decorative effect depended largely on its honestly
revealed structure.
Inspired by the great designers of this period, Furnitech’s Shaker and Mission style media cabinets
