Designing furniture is both an art and a science that draws upon a broad range of knowledge and disciplines. It is helpful for today’s furniture designers to have a working knowledge of furniture history, technology, aesthetics, the human body, architectural production, interior design, industrial design, and art. Furniture Design is a comprehensive survey that guides the reader through essential facets of design and more. Includes a foreword by John Pile.
The book explores:
• Fundamental ideas of function and social use
• Form, spatial organization, and typological orders
• Structural integrity and composition
• The design process
• Materials and fabrication processes
• Marketing and professional practice
• An historical overview of furniture design up to the 21stcentury
Here is a single resource about furniture design that designers will turn to regularly for the advice, guidance, and information needed to perform their craft.
An Instructor’s Manual, Image Bank, and PowerPoint slides are included on the Instructor's Companion Site.
