Arts and Crafts Accent Chairs

At the intersection of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, there are Arts and Crafts chairs. A movement inspired by society’s collective desire to pare back design-wise after the over-the-top embellishment that characterized the Victorian era, Arts and Crafts focuses on unfussy, perpendicular forms meant to evoke more primitive design trends. Arts and Crafts chairs are ideal for any decorating scenario where you desire a rustic edge partnered with a distinctively formal silhouette.
