Mission furniture: ageless designs for modern times

According to legend, “Mission furniture” was originally built in the Spanish missions of Mexico and the American southwest several centuries ago, but that design didn’t acquire that name until 1890 in San Francisco.

The simple spiritual beliefs of the modest Catholic monks who first cultivated the design are expressed by the quality craftsmanship and clean lines of Mission Furniture.

Dissimilar to the ornate Victorian styles popular at the time, Mission furniture features clean, straight lines and very little embellishment. Despite its humble beginnings out West, this style of furniture was first mass manufactured in New York by Joseph McHugh, an East Coast designer.

Mission furniture enjoyed a period of wide popularity along with the Arts and Crafts movement which simplified interior designs and raised the quality of craftsmanship. The first choice of material for Mission furnishings has always been oak, which provides a beautiful unpainted look and is ideal for sturdy, well-made furnishings. Whether it works as a collector’s item or as a perfect modernistic decor accent, this style of furniture has grown more and more popular in recent years.

Buying an audio equipment cabinet

Those folks who take pride in their audio equipment enjoy audio cabinets which permit easy access to all of the components while satisfying the need to blend in with the decor.

For a more traditional decor it will be a good idea to get solid wood or wood veneer cabinets. However for a more contemporary look go with steel or aluminum.

A critical element will be the visual statement the audio cabinet makes, whether it looks like a normal piece of furniture, or you put the audio equipment itself as the room’s focal point.

Employing glass cabinet doors will be the best way to show off the audio equipment as the focal point of the cabinet, but as a regular piece of furniture you need to blend the color of the cabinet door with the rest of the room decor.

Art nouveau cabinets are yet another choice that permits your imagination to run wild, resulting in unusual designer cabinets, like one in the form of a guitar.

Considering the constant development of audio technology, it will be a good idea to buy a cabinet with adequate space for more components. Even though many people put the speakers inside the cabinet next to the components, most audiophiles prefer to keep the speakers at a distance from the components for appropriate sound separation.

However the top of the cabinet is often a good place for smaller speakers. Other audio cabinet options, besides the usual free-standing models, are wheeled cabinets or wall-mounted cabinets.
