The Shakers were more than a religious community - they were creators of a clear, functional design language that still resonates today. This book explores the principles and ideals of the Shakers, which are rooted in simplicity, equality, communal values and pacifism. Essays and object texts provide insight into the historical development of their furniture and architecture, which are regarded as forerunners of modern design and architectural language. Contemporary artists and designers critically reflect on the ongoing relevance of this unique culture in the 21st century. Featuring contributions by Glenn Adamson, Aaron Betsky, Amie Cunat, Jeffrey De Blois, Chris Liljenberg Halstr0m, David Hartt, Sarah Margolis-Pineo, Christien Meindertsma, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Finnegan Shannon, Mabel 0. Wilson, Reggie Wilson, and others, the richly illustrated volume brings together archival material, newly commissioned photography, and critical perspectives on Shaker influence today.
