Product Information Gustav Stickley, who was a master craftsman, furniture designer, architect and publisher, created the Arts & Crafts style of architecture during the first twenty years of the twentieth century which is known today as simply "Craftsman" or "Craftsman Homes." The Craftsman plans offered the average American family a house that was truly a home, based on the ideals of beauty, simplicity, utility and organic harmony. Gustav showed his designs and ideas through his magazine The Craftsman , publishing descriptions and drawings of homes beginning in 1901, and later on his two classic books: Craftsman Homes (1909) and More Craftsman Homes (1912). Published monthly between Oct 1901 and Dec 1916, Gustav's The Craftsman was "the bible" of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States, which emphasized spare design, hand-crafting, and the importance of the individual craftsman.
