Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): The Arts and Crafts style embraces traditional craftsmanship with simplistic and organic forms. Detailed patterns often feature floral motifs, and the work showcases the quality of materials used, often with a handcrafted, rustic finish. The style rejects industrial and manufactured aesthetics. To design in this style, use natural, high-quality materials, maintain visible craftsmanship details, incorporate medieval, romantic, or folk decoration, and prioritize function over ornamental elements.
