Modern Furniture Design

by Tomo ·

Modern furniture has dispelled all the age-old norms and introduced new materials, designs and styles. Earlier, wood was the primary material for any type of furniture. Today, it has been replaced by synthetic fibers, vinyl, tubular metal alloys, and even cane. These materials are not only easier to maintain, but can be molded into several different shapes and are extremely lightweight as compared to wood.

The concept of furniture has evolved greatly over the years. From the Medieval and Victorian days of massive banquet tables and heavy wooden couches to the more chic sofas and beanbags, furniture has come a long way.

The post World War II period saw a widespread industrial revolution. Several major industries were mechanized and the furniture industry was no exception. This gave rise to the concept of “modern furniture.” (more…)

Dining Room

by Tomo ·

A dining room is a room for consuming food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most common table shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides.

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility  in castles  or large manor houses dined in the Great Hall. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had large chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a freeflow of air through the numerous door and window openings. See also Dining Room Set. (more…)
