Making Authentic Craftsman Furniture: Instructions and Plans for 62 Projects (Dover Crafts: Woodworking)

Rejecting the "badly constructed, over-ornate, meaningless" furniture of the late Victorian period, architect, furniture designer and manufacturer Gustav Stickley developed a radical new design concept that stressed careful workmanship, simplicity, and utility.

His important monthly magazine The Craftsman (1901–16) published construction plans for his distinctly American furniture.The 62 simple, straightforward projects reprinted here — exquisite examples of Stickley's classic designs — first appeared in The Craftsman between 1903 and 1907.
