Reseña del editor:

United in promoting the superiority of 'honest' design and natural materials in an industrial age, the Arts and Crafts movement included architects, artists and designers as stylistically and geographically diverse as William Morris, Frank Lloyd Wright, Josef Hoffmann and Eliel Saarinen, and exerted a wide international influence which is today more relevant than ever.
