Shaker

Unique lifestyle and design philosophy of Shakers.

Shaker is for anyone intrigued by simplicity as a vital form of elegance. Flipping through its pages reveals an austere yet beautiful vision of living, where each carefully crafted item echoes the Shakers’ deep spirituality and craft mastery. If aesthetic minimalism and historical curiosity resonate with you, this book serves as both visual delight and thoughtful reflection on the intersection of faith, function, and design.

Description

"Shaker" is an illustrated exploration of the unique lifestyle of the American Shaker celibate religious communities founded in the 18th century by an English Quaker, Ann Lee. A major feature of Shaker life was the emphasis on self-sufficiency: houses, farm buildings, furniture, tools, utensils, clothes, and textiles - all were hand-made according to a craft tradition that linked form and function with godly virtues of plainness, simplicity, and fitness. The beautiful objects that resulted are not only now highly valued as collector's pieces but also as sources of inspiration for contemporary design-makers.
