Well said - I think of Quaker (edit: I meant Shaker) furniture as a great example of this.

As a Quaker I appreciate the callout, but you probably mean Shaker furniture. The Religious Society of Friends isn't known for their carpentry.

D'oh - thank you, you are correct. I was thinking of Shaker furniture.

That said, I also admire the Quakers for their values.

Since my kitchen cabinets are "modified Shaker," I appreciate this.

There's something about simple design that you can appreciate without being in any way religious. Christopher Alexander tries to get at it.

Known for something even better though; banning a certain practice from their society more than a decade before the Constitution was ratified.

In areas that have them, Amish roofers are known for top-quality workmanship, period dot.
