Mission style draws inspiration from early Spanish missions in California and the southwest United States. During the Arts and Crafts Movement, this distinctly American style was popularized by Gustav Stickley and it integrated furnishings, architecture, handicrafts, with principles of harmonious living. It gained popularity for its elegant, severely plain and rectilinear features and warm wood tones. Stickley believed that simple, well-designed furnishings could help “make life better and truer by its perfect simplicity.”

Mission style utilizes solid oak construction with simple, but beautiful, craftsmanship. It combines rock-solid construction with a sharp and classy design that evokes a rustic, peaceful ambience of a secluded nook in the woods. The structures are unhidden by plaster or ornament, and the clearly revealed pieces give it an open charm.

For these reasons, mission style is the manifestation of the American Arts and Crafts Movement that was popular in the early 1900s and peaked in 1916. Gustav Stickley’s style was copied, but he still maintained his original leading position throughout the movement. As a result, his company's furniture is the most sought after and highly valued of the period makers
