Charles Voysey had a long career, but the heyday of his architecture and furniture designs was the decade following 1898, when the Arts and Crafts Movement held sway in England.
Voysey believed that furniture design should avoid "brainless elaboration," meaning that designers should forgo stylistic and constructional trickery ant that ornament should be consistent with the function and overall appearance of the object.
Voysey also demanded that his furniture be made to a high standard of craftsmanship, even in its less visible parts.

 C F A Voysey
The extent of C F A Voysey’s influence is conspicuous today throughout Britain’s suburbs in the heritage of white, roughcast houses built in the inter-war years.
The fact that Voysey did not benefit from this was partly due to his inability to compromise his high ideals, and resulted in the decline of his practice after 1913.
The actor Robert Donat, who married Voysey’s niece, recalled the artist at this late stage of his life, having been a dutiful son and stern parent, as a doting uncle writing magical letters, sprinkled with the whimsical animals and motifs which often peppered even the most important works of his illustrious career.

 Emslie Horniman's Pleasance
I propose to clear the land and lay out same at my own expense.." She had studied at the Slade school of art and asked the architect Charles Voysey to design a garden.
Voysey outlined his design aims: 'with the idea of securing brightness, the new boundary fence walls and shelters are built of brick, roughcast in cement and to be kept lime-washed in white.
They thus form a good background for the flowers, which are arranged on an oak pergola, flanking the oak bridge and all around the waterway, the latter being provided with clay holes for the water plants'.

Voysey was one of the most successful and renowned British architects from the 1890s until the outbreak of World War I. His white-rendered houses with stone window dressings and sweeping green slate roofs combined clarity and simplicity with a sensual appreciation of natural materials.
Voysey's conviction that no detail of a house was too small to deserve the attention of its architect led him to design everything from the plan of the garden to the handles on the kitchen dresser.
Voysey this one looks beyond his reserved exterior to find a man of warmth and quiet humour unfairly overlooked by the other authors, and the typically excellent material quality of this Phaidon edition befits its content.

“Voysey” was seen at Kansas City Repertory Theatre in the spring of 2005.
Sharply illuminated in a crisp adaptation by David Mamet and advanced by a tip-top ensemble under helmer David Warren, the cautionary themes of ‘The Voysey Inheritance’ — the corruptive nature of capitalistic economic models and their corrosive impact on the human character — emerge with shattering clarity.” — Marilyn Stasio, Variety.
