Furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating (e.g., chairs, stools, and sofas), eating (tables), and sleeping (e.g., beds).

Furniture is also used to hold objects at a convenient height for work (as horizontal surfaces above the ground, such as tables and desks), or to store things (e.g., cupboards and shelves).

Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art.

In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose.

It can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood.

Furniture can be made using a variety of woodworking joints which often reflect the local culture.

Modern furniture refers to furniture produced from the late 19th century through the present that is influenced by modernism.

Post-World War II ideals of cutting excess, commodification, and practicality of materials in design heavily influenced the aesthetic of the furniture.

It was a tremendous departure from all furniture design that had gone before it.

There was an opposition to the decorative arts, which included Art Nouveau, Neoclassical, and Victorian styles.

Dark or gilded carved wood and richly patterned fabrics from the gave way to the glittering simplicity and geometry of polished metal.

The forms of furniture evolved from visually heavy to visually light.

This shift from decorative to minimalist principles of design can be attributed to the introduction of new technology, changes in philosophy, and the influences of the principles of architecture.

As Philip Johnson, the founder of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art articulates:

The decorative arts are arts or crafts concerned with the design and manufacture of beautiful objects that are also functional.

It includes interior design, but not usually architecture.

The decorative arts are often categorized in opposition to the "fine arts", namely, painting, drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally have no function other than to be seen.
