Journal Title: Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology; Zeszyty naukowe SGGW - Year 2016, Vol 94, Issue
Abstract
The development of furniture started from the time when a human being learnt the woodworking and selected features. Initially, furniture were treated as utility objects without its own history. Later, its craft and project started to be appreciated. The type of material was important not only because of mechanical reasons but also it emphasized the status of its owner. Looking at present situation, it has not changed a lot, and furniture plays a very significant role in our homes, but maybe not so spectacular. In this work, the overview of wood related materials, used at furniture manufacturing, have been presented throughout years. The used materials used now and in the past have been compared.
