C.F.A. Voysey

English architect and furniture and textile designer.
Years: 1857 - 1941

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (May 28, 1857 – February 12, 1941) is an English architect and furniture and textile designer.

Voysey's early work is as a designer of wallpapers, fabrics and furnishings in a simple Arts and Crafts style, but he is renowned as the architect of several country houses.

He is one of the first people to understand and appreciate the significance of industrial design.

H eis considered one of the pioneers of Modern Architecture, a notion which he rejects

His English domestic architecture draws heavily on vernacular rather than academic tradition, influenced by the ideas of Herbert Tudor Buckland (1869–1951) and Augustus Pugin (1812–1852).

The Sanderson wallpaper factory (1901) in Chiswick, which he designs, is named Voysey House in his memory.
