Furniture architecture addresses functionality by ensuring that the pieces are designed to support their intended use. This means that the designer must consider factors such as size, shape, materials, ergonomics, and usability to create furniture that is both attractive and practical. For example, a chair must be comfortable to sit on, have sufficient leg room, and be sturdy enough to support the weight of the user. A table must be large enough to accommodate its intended purpose, be the right height for the users, and be durable enough to withstand constant use. Furniture architecture considers all of these elements to create furniture that not only looks good but also delivers optimal utility for its users.
