Mennonites are originally from the Netherlands. Furthermore, most of the ones living in North America, live in Canada.

I love your typical ignorant American-the-world-revolves-around-us post though. Good for you.]]>Jul 14th 2009 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/wood-computer-workstation-takes-up-space-looks-great-does-litt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/wood-computer-workstation-takes-up-space-looks-great-does-litt/
Wow, even if I was wrong you are acting like at least a begrudged critic looking for a reason to slam the US and at worst an outright moron.

Here is the history-

Sure older roots might be traceable but the current mission image (undoubtedly what was referenced) is decidedly of American origin.

Go hate someone else...]]>Jul 15th 2009 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/wood-computer-workstation-takes-up-space-looks-great-does-litt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/wood-computer-workstation-takes-up-space-looks-great-does-litt/
"Sure older roots might be traceable" Forty years. Forty years from Philip Webb's designs to when Joseph McHugh coined the term, mission furniture.

Mission style furniture, often mistakenly thought of as being of American origin, actually originated in England in the late nineteenth century. In 1859, the architect Philip Webb built a house for William Morris. Built of brick, the house came to be called the Red House. The Red House was built to function as a practical home. The architecture and furnishing were designed as a whole; it was a holistic approach to architecture and interior. The furnishings were designed to compliment the architecture. They were simple, straightforward and functional.
The simplicity of style was a departure from the lush and plush of the Victorian era. Architects and furniture designers favored the new look for its clean lines and its cultural statement.
The Arts and Crafts movement, and its style of furniture, honored the work of artisans. The handcrafted styling, the evidence of workmanship was to be emphasized; this made for honest, functional furniture. The mission of the movement was to place before ornamentation the purpose of the piece. By the 1890s, the Arts and Crafts movement was firmly entrenched in American architecture and furniture design.
Mission style furniture is recognizable by its linear appeal and minimal ornamentation. Chairs have straight backs and flat slats. Legs are straight with flat feet. Upholstery is used sparingly in mission style furniture design, but leather and linen are common upholstery coverings.
Mission style cabinetry, such as writing desks and tables, sometimes have inlay design, usually geometric. Any ornamentation is minimal and is designed to draw attention to the craft of the work, rather than as an adornment.
Spanish Mission architecture, which was prevalent throughout California, was styled after the missions built in the region in the previous centuries. The mission style furniture of the Arts and Crafts movement transitioned over to this architecture almost immediately.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the Southwestern states and California were infused with Spanish, English and Native American influences. The mission style furnishings answered these influences well. Constructed from wood and accented with copper and metal, the style blended well with the contemporary architecture.
Mission style furniture, and the Arts and Crafts architecture for which it was originally designed, was prominent in the Southwest and California from 1890 into the 1920s.

I said "typical ignorant American", only because you would have to be, to believe that an American coining a term, makes it of American origin.
