The book explores:

Fundamental ideas of function and social use. Form, spatial organization, and typological orders. Structural integrity and composition. The design process. Materials and fabrication processes. Marketing and professional practice. A historical overview of furniture design up to the twenty-first century. A highlight of the book includes case studies of twenty-one furniture designs presenting a broad selection of works, designers, design processes, and fabrication techniques in one chapter. The book also features a glossary of terms and a comprehensive bibliography. In short, here is a one-stop resource about furniture design that designers will turn to regularly for the advice, guidance, and information needed to perform their craft.
