Shaker
Simple-living sectarian
The Shakers are members of a Christian sect founded in 18th-century England, known for their ecstatic worship involving trembling and shaking.
American Shaker communities became famous for celibacy, communal living, and beautifully simple furniture: Shaker chairs, Shaker boxes.
The style emphasizes clean lines and functional design without ornament. (Lowercase shaker is a container for mixing or dispensing.)
