Charles Voysey

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941) was an English architect and furniture and textile designer. Voysey's early work was as a designer of wallpapers, fabrics and furnishings in a simple Arts and Crafts style, but he is renowned as the architect of a number of notable country houses. He was one of the first people to understand and appreciate the significance of industrial design. He has been considered one of the pioneers of Modern Architecture, a notion which he rejected. His English domestic architecture draws heavily on vernacular rather than academic tradition, influenced by the ideas of Herbert Tudor Buckland (1869 - 1951) and Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852).

It is said that he was a disciple of William Morris and was one of the UK's most innovative designers of furniture in the Arts and Crafts style.
