The Birth of Modern Furniture
I was surprised to learn that today’s modern furniture was actually born more than eighty years ago. It seems that the modern furniture movement, in which function of the furniture is key, was born out of the dark and gilded Victorian age. During the Victorian era all furniture was very decorative. Contemporary furniture is just the opposite. One thing that most people don’t know is just how comfortable contemporary furniture is. My husband and I just purchased our first piece of modern furniture, a beautiful burnt orange microfiber sectional sofa. We absolutely love it. We’re ready go go modern in our home!
