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.
