Furniture architecture addresses the concept of tradition by incorporating traditional design elements and methods into modern furniture designs. This can include using traditional materials such as wood, leather, and metal, as well as adopting traditional techniques such as woodworking, joinery, and carving. Additionally, furniture architecture may draw inspiration from historical styles such as Victorian, Art Deco, or Mid-Century Modern, creating pieces that pay homage to the past while also incorporating contemporary design principles. By drawing on traditional elements and styles, furniture architecture helps to preserve the traditions of furniture making while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary design.
