description: Equally at home in a classic bungalow surrounded by antiques or a loft apartment decorated with modern art, the creations of a dedicated contingent of furniture makers take center stage in today's Arts &amp; Crafts decor. One-of-a-kind pieces in wood, metal, pottery, tile, glass, and textiles are testaments to the enduring influence of visionary designers such as Gustav Stickley, Greene &amp; Greene, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Building on the grand simplicity and exceptional quality that were hallmarks of the original Arts &amp; Crafts movement, talented furniture makers fuel the Arts &amp; Crafts Revival, still gaining momentum after two decades of growth. Twenty contemporary artisans are profiled in Arts &amp; Crafts Style and Spirit, and the works of many more are shown. Their meticulous craftsmanship is seen in wooden furniture; lamps and lighting fixtures of metal, mica, and art glass; handmade vases and one-of-a-kind tiles; linen table runners and pillows. The Arts &amp; Crafts tradition is not only upheld by contemporary designer-craftspeople but expanded and refined for a new generation of collectors and aficionados. The result is a simple, elegant approach to living that makes any home a refuge.
