A True Representative Of Your Style And Artistic Sense
What kind of furniture can serve your purpose best and what can be the true representative of your style and good aesthetic taste? Keep this question in mind when buying living room furniture.
Though you have a extensive array of selections to select furniture, there are some pieces of living room furniture, which are considered essential for almost every home. Which are these essential pieces, let's find out.
You and your guests, definitely, need something to sit on and this something can be the most important piece or pieces for living room furniture. Leather sofas, ottomans, loveseats and two seaters are some of your ordinary options in this connection, but if you are looking for some unique and stylish choices, you can also go for a nice looking rocking chair or a daybed. You must think about the style and d?cor of your room when considering these options for your living room furniture. Table is another important piece of furniture for your living room.
You need to understand this fact that you have somewhat endless options in choosing living room furniture. If you have a modern style flat, you can go for a daybed, and similarly, if you have a country-style theme of your living room, you may need to look for an elegantly stylish living room chair. The style of your living room furniture depends on many different aspects, but the thing that really plays an important role is your choice. However, the good thing is that you often have so many options. However, sometimes it becomes difficult for you to decide.
Besides embodying your style and aesthetic sense, another important factor is the level of comfort that you must think of before buying your living room furniture. You must know that fashionable is not always comfortable, and comfortable is not always stylish. You need to pick something that has both: comfort and elegance.
Most of the people seem to sacrifice or ignore one thing for the other. Some want outstanding elegance in their every piece of furniture; others seem to prefer the level of comfort in living room furniture, or some other such kind of products. Sane are those who look for both and try to get something, which has both these elements.
Some really exciting living room furniture have the elements of stylishness and comfort in an equal proportion and only this kind of furniture can be the true representative of not only your style and aesthetic sense, but also of your sanity and choosiness. Your home tells a lot about you to your visitors and you must keep this element in mind when choosing your living room furniture.

Wassily Chairs: learning the details!

Having a comfortable chair can make or break your working day and your back at the same time! One of the best contemporary designs for modern chairs was put forward by Architect and designer Marcel Breuer. The architect was a prolific designer but one of his best creations is credited to be The Wassily Chair. The chair was named after his beloved friend and colleague, Wassily Kandinsky. The designer convinced a local plumber and welder to merge several pieces of tubing into the cubist structure of the tube. Although he wanted to mass produce the Wassily chair, it did not happen. But over the years, the Wassily Chair caught the attention and imagination of several artists and it went into mass production. You can still source the design at online websites and own a modernist piece of art for a song!

Modern furniture: the beginning

Most important was the Austrian Michael Thonet, who produced what is considered to be the first modern furniture in the middle of the nineteenth century. After much experimenting, Thonet perfected a steam process for bending hardwood by machine, a process still used today. His furniture was first shown internationally at the London Exhibition of 1851, where it was appreciated immediately. Inexpensive and well-designed, bentwood chairs and other pieces became widely popular in Europe both for home and public use.
Thonet's company produced much of the world's classic modern furniture. In addition to Thonet's own designs, the company manufactured some of the work of Josef Hoffmann and Otto Wagner, and later that of Mart Stam, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus faculty members. It was the first company to make "knock-down" furniture and it shipped some chairs unassembled to both sides of the Atlantic. Thonet Industries still mass-produces modern classics by many designers.
Another early designer was Joseph Beverly Fenby, who’s Tripolina Chair, created in 1877 of canvas and wood, was a simple and inexpensive provision of portable seating. The Colonial Chair (designer unknown) was another such innovation, also made of canvas and wood, but with a revolutionary structure, first used by British officers in India. Both chairs are still popular today. The Colonial Chair was updated by Denmark's Kaare Klint in 1933 and renamed the Safari Chair.
The Shakers in the United States were precursors of the modern movement. It was their idea, many decades before the Bauhaus, that form must follow function—one of the most important principles of modern design. Their modern furniture first became popular around 1860 and is popular again today.
