What influence did the Arts & Crafts movement have on product design?
I'm holding a workshop on that topic soon. As much as I can, I see no connection between the two. As far as I'm concerned, Arts and Crafts were about one-offs, while the design Product is in production. Or does anyone have any ideas that may be missing?
I only have few resources on Art and Craft I do not know much about that topic, so I probably do not have any perspective on that topic. To my knowledge, Arts and Crafts was clearly against mass production, but the design was very functional and a deliberate violation of the designs before the time. I think it was the first time that the designers tried to convey a political agenda with his body of work, too. In my humble opinion, the designs were not as influential, but they must have influenced the way designers work and how design itself is perceived. The reduction of design to its very function and focus on design, to experiment with different materials and production methods designers later, are partly influenced by the Arts and Crafts.
