Why do Mission style furniture and Mission style architecture have nothing to do with each other?

There's no such thing as Mission "style" architecture, dearie. And if you knew anything, you would know that Mission (again, not style, unless you're talking repros) furniture, aka Arts and Crafts furniture, was suited especially for Craftsman homes, not Mission architecture.

There is certainly mission style architecture. Park Boulevard in Oakland is full of it.

Mission or Arts and Crafts, R2?

R1, tell me "I know nothing about architecture" without saying "I know nothing about architecture."

You know nothing about architecture, R4.

There is Mission style architecture, you stupid fucking cunt.

It's either Mission (as in built in the period) or a knockoff, cunt R6.

According to the Google, the term mission furniture was coined by a New England furniture maker to describe a line of furniture he designed inspired by a heavy wooden chair he saw in a San Francisco mission church. So the furniture does, in fact, have something to do with California mission style.

But California mission architecture does not at all mean what we know as "mission" furniture, better known as Arts and Crafts furniture--Stickley, Limert, Roycroft, etc.

R9, Google Spanish Colonial furniture and see how similar they are. Typically oak, heavy, straight lines, simple in its decoration, often with hand-wrought iron fixtures.

R11, they go together, but "mission" is, as has been mentioned, a generic term. I think Arts & Crafts furniture, as it's so bulky, works best in a large loft-style premises. One needs a lot of room.

George Washington Smith, Irvin Gill, James Osborne Craig, Mary McLaughlin Craig, Julia Morgan did some..... Go to S anta Barbara OP and tell us there is no such thing as Mission architecture. William Mooser's county courthouse may be the most beautiful building in our entire fucking nation and Gill worked on the actual mission in San Diego, so he knew more about them than you.

Depends on the position.

Or you have a great, cavernous apartment say, in the Dakota.

Santa Barbara Courthouse

John Byers was a great Mission style architect on a par with Irving Gill.

I assume R2 is being cunty over differentiation between the architecture of the colonial-period Missions themselves and the revival and reinvention of that type of building in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

R13 I am the OP. I know Mission Style architecture exists. I have been to Los Angeles Union Station (technically Art Moderne Mission Revival) and many other places in California. Thus I asked the question. If I did not believe it existed, I would not have asked the question. I would have been content with Mission Style furniture existing on its own, without any similarly named design style to contradict its essential design philosophy, you dried up tube of cunt paste.

Bravo, OP. I must remember that.

Also R11

You are wrong.

I need a Monterey style balcony

And what kind of psycho puts Mission Style furniture in The Dakota with all that ornate Victorian woodwork? It's like putting a Mies van Der Rohe chair in a Hollywood Regency living room.

R22, look at the apartment. It works beautifully.

Bruce Barnes (gay). The Dakota. Look it up.

Mission style furniture (Amish folks make it to order) is sturdy enough for old folks to use as hand rails and they don’t tip over when they plop in the seats.

Mission architecture is a sublime dream most of us can’t afford.

Are you thinking of Amish-style furniture, R25?

....

R20, no I’m not. You are.

FLW style furniture in R28,not mission.

R25, no. They copy Stickley and others. I grew up with idiots rocking back on windsors and ruining them. When I bought mission, one dipshit tried to rock back and failed. Awesome center of gravity on dining chairs. Excellent sturdiness of couch and living room chairs.
