The concept of modernism in furniture
techniques have given birth to the modern furniture. The idea of making such
furniture has started from late 19th century which is still running
at the present periods. The distinctive feature of modern furniture exhibits
the simplicity and the functionality and somehow the fresh and new attitude of
people viewing furniture led the development of such remarkable appliances. In
the past, the furniture was treated as like ornaments and people were using it
for decorations only but today these incorporate modern furnishing thought,
design and functionality.
Material used: Old days, only wood material was used for
making furniture. But along with the new approach and techniques other
materials like steel, plywood and plastic are being used. Well, steel was the
earliest material that was used in the modern furniture making, but gradually
plywood and then plastics are used. Though steel is still being used these days
but the preference of using plywood and plastic is more. Mixing cultures: The
former appliances were very strongly influenced by European culture but the new
age furniture rather is pleased to African, Asian and Japanese culture. But
apart from all these cultures the Japanese culture in the modern furniture
making is pronounced a lot.
