Brief introduction of American furniture

Maybe you are not familiar with exotic furniture. After visiting all kinds of dazzling European and American classical modern furniture, perhaps American furniture is most likely to make you feel intimate. Most people's intuitive first impression of American furniture is heavy, heavy and comfortable. Indeed, comfort is the first element of American furniture. When Americans buy beds and sofas, they are used to sitting on them first and experiencing their comfort. If they are uncomfortable, they will not look at the shape and workmanship of the furniture.

Also, the approachable aspect of American furniture lies in its practicality. American manufacturers will divide furniture into living room, dining room, bedroom, study room, kitchen, bathroom and other use spaces, and subdivide them according to consumer class and living type. The division of labor is clear, the pieces are closely connected with modern life, covering all aspects, and consumers can always choose the most suitable furniture. This is the basic attribute that American furniture is people-oriented and close to life, but it is more important to meet people's cultural and aesthetic needs. Just as the United States is a pluralistic society, American furniture embodies the spirit of multicultural integration, and its styles are diverse and inclusive. American furniture includes antique and neoclassical furniture, unique country style and simple life style furniture.

Antique style furniture is rooted in the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late European Renaissance. It is a nostalgia for Europe and a popular variant of European royal furniture. With the rise of the new bourgeoisie in the United States, they are not thoroughly remoulded, but have made some choices about European classical culture, which are reflected in furniture, simplifying the ornamentation symbolizing rights and paying more attention to practicality. We can see that the outline and shape of antique furniture are also derived from European furniture, but the carving is simple, and only the legs, columns and crowns are decorated with carved flowers, so there will be no large-scale carving and excessive decoration, which is more comfortable to use. It can be said that it is more about the inheritance, appreciation and comfort of style.

In American furniture, country style has always occupied an important position, which embodies the pioneering spirit of early American ancestors and their personality of advocating freedom and loving nature. Simple shape, bright colors, natural and simple materials, practical and durable. American furniture mostly uses walnut, cherry and oak, and the paint is mainly monochrome, combined with leather, cloth, iron, marble and glass. The treatment of materials deliberately emphasizes naturalness and functionality, and makes safety furniture with seemingly unprocessed log materials, highlighting its natural texture. This is reflected in various styles of American furniture. On the surface of furniture, you will see many "defects", such as moth-eaten wood holes, fire marks, file marks, hammer marks and so on. This turned out to be a special painting process of American furniture-"doing old". Create traces that have been honed over the years, show the true colors of wood, and cater to people's nostalgia and yearning for nature. American furniture expresses Americans' nostalgia for history and popularizes European royal furniture.

American furniture is based on the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late European Renaissance. English, French, Italian, German, Greek and Egyptian classical furniture are simplified, functional and decorative. We all know that most European furniture is grand and magnificent. Like European architecture, there is gold and silver, which only the royal family can afford. Then American furniture will make such royal furniture civilian, and the tall and magnificent style will still be preserved. American furniture expresses American leisure and comfortable style, and turns home into a place to release stress and relieve fatigue.

Americans can be said to be the laziest people in the world, but they also enjoy life the most. Every weekend, they will forget all the work pressures of the week, open the door and go home, put on casual clothes, lie on the sofa at will, take a newspaper, have a cup of coffee, watch TV, have dinner with their families, and return to the natural life completely. Therefore, the randomness and comfort of grape-edge American furniture is its greatest. Unlike European furniture, which emphasizes its flashiness and feels like a real home, instead of returning to a five-star hotel or office, American sofas and chairs will be made bigger, more spacious and more comfortable, making people feel comfortable and free to go home at first sight. American furniture has a strong personality, which expresses the American spirit of pursuing freedom and advocating innovation.

American furniture often has some totems that express American cultural concepts, such as elephants, salmon, lions, eagles, buttercups and so on. And some totems reflecting Indian culture. A tourist in America once told me that one day, he and his wife were resting in a small hotel in the American countryside at night. When the man got up at night, he only saw all kinds of nameless totems in the room, and even the lights were on the plate. In fact, this is the characteristic of American furniture. Totems and sculptures are both interesting stories. Nostalgia, romance and respect for time are also the best comments on American furniture. American furniture is made of fine wood, which is generally thick and durable. An American piece of furniture can last for decades or hundreds of years. Grandfather used it and passed it on to his father, who used it for his son. In American families, if you have a piece of furniture used by your grandmother, you will definitely put it in the most eye-catching position at home, which is a kind of pride of Americans. Moreover, American furniture lacks the resplendence of European furniture with gold and silver.

It retains its generosity and comfort and becomes more practical. And the practicality of American furniture is reflected in its versatility. American furniture is more convenient to use because of its large size. Moreover, according to the style design, many American furniture, like wardrobes, may also be used as TV cabinets, and some dining cabinets can be used as dressing tables, which greatly enhances its practicality.
