Arts and Crafts Movement (later development)

The Arts and Crafts Movement, emerging in the late 19th century, was a design movement emphasizing quality craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade goods, as a response to industrialization's mass production. It promoted simple, functional designs that respected traditional craftsmanship and natural materials. Over time, the movement influenced various areas like architecture, furniture, and decorative arts, advocating for a return to artisanal values and ethical production. Its later development saw these principles evolve into broader appreciation for high-quality, thoughtfully made products, fostering a lasting legacy that values authenticity and craftsmanship in design.
