Mission Style Wooden Furniture
Mission Style Wooden Furniture enjoys a rich history that has connections with classic architecture and modern art. During the early-20th century, Spanish missions of the American West suddenly caught the eye of modern architects. The clean white adobe walls and clean angles echoed the modern art movement known as “minimalism”, which found beauty in stark colors and simple shapes. Soon, architects and artists alike were drawing inspiration from these Spanish built missions.

It was only a matter of time until the new “mission style” influenced the world of hand-crafted furniture. Gustav Stickley is credited with being the first to produce mission style furniture on a large scale. He beautifully captured the simplicity and elegance of the original Spanish missions. Today, mission style wooden furniture has come to define the look of Amish furniture. The clean angles, sturdy design, and timeless beauty are part of what makes it a style for the ages.
