Furniture

Furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating (e.g., chairs, stools and sofas), eating (tables), and sleeping (e.g., beds).

Furniture matters to interior designers like books to librarians. It’s important because interior design is concerned with the design of spaces and what makes the space is furniture.

Function & Furniture

Furniture is an industrial or craft-based design to support human activities. Every furniture is made with user needs and function in mind. Function determines what a furniture should do like sleeping (beds), eating (tables), or seating (chairs).

Perhaps furniture matters the most when the design is implemented as furniture brings function to space. A good example for how furniture defines and dictates the space would be airports. How would you know where to sit and wait in an airport? You look around for seating elements, right? Because, furniture clearly states the intended function of the waiting/lounge area.

Furniture Selection

In furniture selection, the users and activities are considered first. We on the purpose of the furniture, the need for adjust ability, flexibility, finish requirements, durability, and size. They accommodate emotional, social, or cultural values of our clients, too. Because, furniture arrangement is an expression of personal styles as much as function-driven.

Also, we select furniture that complements with our design concept. This requires furniture to be fitted in the spatial characteristics of the project. Thus, furniture makes an important part of the concept (mood) board where the design idea is visually presented to our clients.

Although, Chennai not being a great destination for luxury furniture, We managed to shortlist a few exclusive Furniture stores, apart from the regular stores that google search coughs up such as JFA, Modfurn, Woodpecker etc.
