Shakers






The Shakers have been and continue to be leaders in the world of furniture making and simple utilitarian living. Their function over form design policy still manages to produce some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen and if you look at almost any contemporary design company you will find elements of the Shaker influence shining through. In a world where we perpetually fill our homes with frivolous luxurys it's refreshing to know that there is a way of life that manages to take care of all your needs without sacrificing atmosphere or beauty.
