The British movement, which spawned a wide variety of related but conceptually very distinct design movements throughout Europe, was a reaction to the degradation of the dignity of human labor resulting from the <A title="Industrial Revolution" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution">Industrial Revolution</A>. In many ways it was a reaction against the over-decorated aesthetic and disregard for the worker of the <A title="Victorian era" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era">Victorian era</A>.
