Liberty Style

Liberty Style, also known as the Arts and Crafts Movement, emerged in the late 19th century, primarily in Britain. It emphasized handcrafted goods, simple forms, and natural materials, reflecting a rejection of industrial mass production. This style is characterized by intricate designs, floral motifs, and organic shapes, often seen in textiles, ceramics, and furniture. William Morris, a key figure, advocated for art that was accessible and meaningful. Liberty & Co., a department store, popularized this aesthetic, showcasing beautiful products that celebrated craftsmanship and individuality, making art and design more integrated into everyday life.
