FURNITURE FUNCTION:
Cultural Resonance |

|
|
|
| Introduction | Standout Pieces | Cultural Resonance | Informality or Formality? |
As emblems from another culture, our furniture consciously or unconsciously relates our living spaces to a wider world. Understanding these cultural resonances isn't necessary before selecting furniture.
Learning about the style, though, enhances our appreciation of what we own and what we choose to live with. And this is why we so often want to adopt a decorative style from a favorite vacation spot or from a time we once knew.
