“A Rose is a Rose”

"Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful." - The Shaker's

Enveloping the quote derived from the 1913 poem Sacred Emily, Gertrude Stein writes “A rose is a rose is a rose.”, the same concept is seen in Shaker furniture design dovetailing the two opposing concepts of minimalism with an inherent human impulse for beautification.Design Build Portland
