Arts & Crafts Furniture Reminiscent of Greene & Greene


As a small independent furniture maker I can offer a degree of flexibility and an attention to detail not commonly found in larger shops. I routinely work with a client to adapt the Greene & Greene or Arts & Crafts styles to a more contemporary function. My influences as a furniture maker/designer have been many. It's within the Arts & Crafts Movement (Craftsman, Mission) that I feel at home though. The ideals of John Ruskin and William Morris have been an inspiration to me. The movements many designers (and craftsmen) such as Gustav Stickley, Harvey Ellis, CFA Voysey, and CR Mackintosh, have all played a part in my development.But it's the Pasadena architects, Charles and Henry Greene ( Greene and Greene) that have captivated me the most. The furniture from their " Ultimate Bungalow " period (Gamble, Thorsen, Pratt, and Blacker Houses) represents not only the best from the American Arts & Crafts Movement but also some of the most sensitive and thoughtful designs ever produced. Charles Greene's blending of the American Arts & Crafts style with Asian influences was nothing less than divine.

I thoroughly enjoy and take great pride in my work. With attention to detail and reliance upon traditional joinery you can expect a piece of furniture I build to last generations.

 

 

 

"The ideals of the Arts & Crafts Movement support the work of individual craftsman designing and producing quality pieces in their own shops. Nowhere is this ideal more realized than with the work of Darrell Peart, Furnituremaker." ... Alexandria Arnold - Arts and Crafts Movement Review

Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the Workshop

by Darrell Peart

My book is here and ready to ship!

 

 

 

Linden Publishing


Topics include:

  • Background on Charles and Henry Greene( who designed the furniture), and John and Peter Hall (who built the furniture).
  • A step-by-step workshop guide for creating numerous G&G design elements.
  • Examples of the Greene and Greene vocabulary in use by contemporary furniture makers.

It's the details that make a Greene and Greene piece special. My book will show you how to create those details in your own shop and how contemporary furniture maker/designers have integrated the G&G style into their work. The book will primarily appeal to woodworkers and designers, but offers points of interest for any (non woodworking) fan of Greene and Greene furniture as well.

Please contact me by email for Canadian or foreign purchases or If you would like a personalized autograph.

Greene & Greene Furniture Making Classes

My shop schedule has tightened up dramatically in the last year. As much as I enjoy putting on the G&G Workshops in my own shop, my added workload has made that difficult.
In the (somewhat) near future I will be teaching the G&G Details Workshop at the Kent (WA) location of Edensaw Woods. Edensaw has just recently opened up their Kent location to retail - it's a great place and I look forward to working with them.
