The Origin Of Furniture

What is the furniture in our lives? Seemingly simple things, but they play a very important role in our present existence. Imagine our home without a sofa, chairs, cabinets, chairs, tables, etc. What happens? No comfort, just an empty building, the bare walls. At home you will have nowhere to sit, lie down, nowhere to put things. Not life, which is a nuisance. We can no longer sleep in a tent as our ancestors. We have a set of attributes of modern rights. These attributes require an appropriate environment.

Since we're talking about our ancestors, it is probably already in them appeared the first pieces of furniture, ie, ancestors of our usual chairs, tables, beds. Reputed historian of the first furniture began to appear at a time when people began to move from a predominantly nomadic lifestyle to settle down. The man realized that he could not generations wander from one end to the mainland in another. It's very uncomfortable, difficult and dangerous, as everywhere has its masters, and to ask for someone else's care is never easy. In addition, each sought and found the place that he felt more comfortable and familiar life. And now as acquiring a residence tribes of men began to build for themselves more or less permanent home. And if they were to spend a short period of time does not, then why not settle down "with taste ". In the early days of its existence the furniture of course only vaguely resembled our present.

Something was made of stone. Although perhaps the word "made" here is not quite appropriate. People just picked up matching them in size and shape the gifts of nature and adapt them for their existence. Then began to select a suitable form of trees, and also how to adapt and stones in the economy. And since the advent of a widely acceptable manufacture of furniture tools, a man was able to not wait for filing of nature, and accelerate the process of finding the necessary items to him. Since ancient times began to make furniture for their need. So , the evolution in the manufacture of furniture can be compared with the evolution of human development. First, our ancestors were to innocent and "uncouth", and then gradually acquired, knowledge, strength and quickness. And the so beautiful. I wonder how our ancestors used to call pieces of furniture? After all, familiar to us the word furniture comes from the French – meuble. And the word came not from the creation of the first store. Probably the only known individual items furniture. For example: a bed, sofa, chair, chair, bench, cabinet and so on. But let's not speculate, and delve into the history of furniture. Since the creation of furniture, perhaps it is not very beauty and functionality. But with the development human art of furniture making has reached new heights. Furniture began to make a very nice and very good. Those who could afford to buy then interior, got the most beautiful exhibits furniture art. Single copies of those times have survived to this day to please our eyes with the pedestals in museums around the world. Those who have not had the opportunity to purchase expensive items, use the simplest objects to create your everyday life. It was a simple wooden furniture. Bench tables, stools – that of the interior common man in the distant and not so past.
