Handmade modern. Shaker furniture's simplicity and close relationship to Danish Modern style makes it a good fit for clean-lined interiors. Shaker furniture is traditionally handmade (and therefore greener than most mass-produced products). According to the Shaker religion, hard work and simplicity were paths to happiness. We think the philosophy behind the furniture isn't so far from what we're trying to do with homes...make them calm, healthy, beautiful places to live.

I love Shaker Workshops. If I ever have the space to showcase it properly, I'm going to bring one of their tall clocks into my home.
Great to see you covering this movement, such an important marriage of spirit and design. My dad made reproduction Shaker furniture for thirty years, and the pieces of his that I inherited fit seamlessly with the Danish modern stuff I buy for myself.
