What's the difference between European furniture and American furniture?

The so-called European style is just a general term, such as Baroque, Rococo and Goth, which are all very distinctive. These are also European styles. European classical furniture is mainly divided into baroque furniture and rococo furniture, and relatively simple neoclassical furniture appeared in the later period. They mainly have three characteristics: 1, complex lines and attention to sculptors: baroque furniture carving patterns are complex and exquisite; "Rococo furniture" attaches great importance to sculpture, but the lines are softer; The lines of "neoclassical furniture" are brighter, and the texture is mainly presented by inlaying and pasting. 2. Preference for bright colors: in particular, "Baroque furniture" has strong colors, in which gold is the main color, and it is decorated with gold plating or gold foil, which looks magnificent; "Rococo furniture" is soft in color, with beige and white patterns as the main colors; The color of "neoclassical furniture" tends to be warm, such as log color. 3, pay attention to decoration: whether it is "classical" or "neoclassical furniture", you can often see various embroidery cloth, tassels and rivets and other decorations.

American furniture emphasizes comfort, fashion, practicality and multifunction. From the modeling point of view, American furniture can be divided into three categories: antique, neoclassical and country style.

Antique style: American furniture is based on the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late European Renaissance. From many classic furniture works handed down from generation to generation in 18 and 19 centuries, it can be seen that due to the pioneering spirit of early American ancestors and the principle of advocating nature, elegant furniture without excessive decoration has become a representative work of typical American furniture.

The beautiful lines that john goddard is good at still hold a certain weight in today's American furniture.

Neoclassical style: It is produced in the process of innovation and transformation of classical furniture designers. Designers combine classical style with personal unique style and modern spirit, which makes classical furniture present a colorful face and become the main feature of neoclassical style.

Country style: It has always played an important role in American furniture. Because of its simple, lively and practical shape, it has long been deeply loved by consumers all over the world. In the furniture exhibition of 1998, multifunctional design was added, and the appearance and materials kept natural and simple. Drawers with hidden design accommodate space, making them look more neat and beautiful.

On the whole, American furniture conveys the design concept of simplicity, leisure, organization and multi-function, making the family a pure land to release pressure and liberate the soul.

The most fascinating thing about American furniture lies in its exquisite and noble shape, lines, carvings and colors, and the intriguing places reveal ancient and lasting fragrance. Generally speaking, American furniture must go through several stages to highlight American style. Rare textures of different kinds of wood and different parts, and even special textures produced by pathological changes during the growth of trees, are the favorite of American furniture. Secondly, after natural drying and drying in a drying oven, the gaps between the wood are removed, and the gaps between the lines are appropriately shrunk to avoid warping and deformation. The third step is to select the material parts of wood. Most of the best wood comes from the wood core, near the lower part of the trunk, and the wood in the center is usually darker than the new wood or the wood on the outside.

Monolithic style

American furniture style is mainly rooted in European culture. When we talk about "American style" furniture, we usually mean the federal style.

Federalist furniture is similar to neoclassical furniture, and became popular in Europe after 1760. Neoclassicism abandons the novelty and glitz pursued by baroque and rococo styles, and emphasizes concise lines and elegant and appropriate decoration based on a new understanding of classicism.

American furniture is quite different from European furniture in some details. For example, American furniture is painted in a single color, while European furniture is decorated in gold or other colors.

Another important feature of American furniture is its practicality, such as a table specially used for sewing; A dining table that can be lengthened or divided into several small tables.

However, both European furniture and American furniture attach great importance to decoration. In addition to wind chimes, wheat bunches and urn-shaped decorations, the United States also has some patriotic patterns, such as eagle-shaped patterns. They are usually inlaid and decorated with paint or bas-relief.

American furniture is strict about style.

Another feature of American furniture is its complicated painting process and large volume. For example, there is a crack in the back paint of Chun Mei Shi Jia's sofa, and its paint took 19 processes. This feature also requires consumers to fully understand the characteristics and styles of American furniture when choosing American furniture, and to have a certain understanding of home accessories, the overall environment of home and the color matching of home. General manager of Gaodian Yilinsun said: "Ordinary consumers always decorate first, and then buy furniture. For American furniture, the furniture should be decided first, and then the decoration scheme should be selected according to the characteristics of the furniture. Only in this way can the overall environment of furniture and living room be harmonious and unified. American furniture is the most taboo to match rooms with modern decoration style.

In addition to the harmony and unity of interior style, American furniture also pays attention to the rationality of color matching. For example, the bed in the bedroom is warm brown, so the main color of the bedroom is suitable for matching blue, red or khaki, which can better reflect the owner's taste and cultural temperament.

Attention to detail.

Because the style is relatively simple, it is particularly important to deal with the details. American furniture generally uses walnut and maple. In order to highlight the characteristics of wood itself, its veneer is treated with complex plates, which makes the texture itself a kind of decoration and can produce different light sensations at different angles. This makes American furniture more attractive than Italian furniture with golden light.
