Charles VoyseyCharles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941), an architect and furniture designer, was one of the first people to understand and appreciate the significance of industrial design. Although he was influenced by the work of William Morris and the Art Nouveau Movement; he was more concerened with form and function rather than ornamental complexities. His furniture designs were simple and functional and only sparingly decorated. He particularly advocated that wood should be left with its natural finish, contrary to the popular techniques which covered wood with paint and stain. Basically, he eschewed the complexities identified with late Victorian design. Voysey, Charles Voysey, Charles
