Characteristics of American furniture

1, the materials are mostly solid wood, and Merrill Lynch furniture is mostly peach, cherry, maple and pine. It is reported that peach wood and cherry wood belong to precious wood that takes decades or even hundreds of years to become timber, and maple wood also takes 40 years to become timber. These carefully selected materials have established a good foundation for the further modeling of furniture, and the surface of furniture has been carefully painted and carved, showing unique characteristics.

2, the style is rough and atmospheric, and American furniture is rougher than Italian and French furniture. Not only its material, but also its overall feeling. In some American classical style furniture, the old treatment is often used for finishing, and pits are formed on the surface of furniture with sharp tools.

3, advocating classical charm American furniture is common in neoclassical style furniture. This style of furniture emphasizes elegant carving and comfortable design. While retaining the color and texture of classical furniture, it also pays attention to adapting to modern living space. We can see gorgeous maple piping, inlaid lines of maple or walnut, spherical handles, and furniture legs that imitate animal shapes.

American furniture modeling emphasizes comfort, fashion, practicality and multifunction. From the modeling point of view, American furniture can be divided into three categories: antique, neoclassical and country style. Antique style: American furniture is based on the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late European Renaissance. From many classic furniture works handed down from generation to generation in 18 and 19 centuries, it can be seen that due to the pioneering spirit of early American ancestors and the principle of advocating nature, elegant furniture without excessive decoration has become a representative work of typical American furniture.

4. Neoclassical style: It is produced in the process of innovation and change of classical furniture designers. Designers combine classical style with personal unique style and modern spirit, which makes classical furniture present a colorful face and become the main feature of neoclassical style.

5. Country style: It has always played an important role in American furniture. Because of its simple, lively and practical shape, it has long been deeply loved by consumers all over the world. In the furniture exhibition of 1998, multifunctional design was added, and the appearance and materials kept natural and simple. The drawer with hidden design accommodates the space, making it look more neat and beautiful. On the whole, American furniture conveys the design concept of simplicity, leisure, organization and multi-function, making the family a pure land to release pressure and liberate the soul. The most fascinating thing about American furniture lies in its exquisite and noble shape, lines, carvings and colors, and the intriguing places reveal ancient and lasting fragrance. Generally speaking, American furniture must go through several stages to highlight American style. Rare textures of different kinds of wood and different parts, and even special textures produced by pathological changes during the growth of trees, are the favorite of American furniture. Secondly, the wood is dried naturally and in a drying oven, so as to remove the gaps between the wood and shrink the gaps between the lines appropriately to avoid warping and deformation. The third step is to select the material parts of wood. Most of the best wood comes from the wood core, near the lower part of the trunk, and the wood in the center is usually darker than the new wood or the wood on the outside. High-grade furniture often chooses wood with good parts to increase texture and value. Nostalgia, romance and respect for time are the best comments on American furniture.

6. Monolithic style

American furniture style is mainly rooted in European culture. When we talk about "American style" furniture, we usually mean the federal style. Federalist furniture is similar to neoclassical furniture, and became popular in Europe after 1760. Neoclassicism abandons the novelty and glitz pursued by baroque and rococo styles, and emphasizes concise lines and elegant and appropriate decoration based on a new understanding of classicism.

American furniture is quite different from European furniture in some details. For example, American furniture is painted in a single color, while European furniture is decorated in gold or other colors.

Another important feature of American furniture is its practicality, such as a table specially used for sewing; A dining table that can be lengthened or divided into several small tables. However, both European furniture and American furniture attach great importance to decoration. They are usually inlaid and decorated with paint or bas-relief. American furniture requires strict style, complicated painting process and large volume, which is another feature of American furniture. For example, there is a crack in the back paint of Chun Mei Shi Jia's sofa, and its paint took 19 processes. This feature also requires consumers to fully understand the characteristics and styles of American furniture, as well as the accessories of home and school, the overall environment of home and the color matching of home. General manager of Gaodian Yilinsun said: "Ordinary consumers always decorate first, and then buy furniture. For American furniture, the furniture should be decided first, and then the decoration scheme should be selected according to the characteristics of the furniture. Only in this way can the overall environment of furniture and living room be harmonious and unified. American furniture is the most taboo to match rooms with modern decoration style. In addition to the harmony and unity of interior style, American furniture also pays attention to the rationality of color matching. For example, the bed in the bedroom is warm brown, so the main color of the bedroom is suitable for matching blue, red or khaki, which can better reflect the owner's taste and cultural temperament.

Pay attention to details, because the style is relatively simple, and detail handling is particularly important. The hardware decoration in American furniture is exquisite, and there are hundreds of shapes with a small handle. It is these gadgets that make American furniture more fashionable. Don't think that American furniture technology is simple. A piece of furniture designed is made of fine bamboo and feels as smooth as silk. American beds are very distinctive, with high columns and a canopy. The bed is high because it has two mattresses, which is said to be more elastic. The chair can best reflect the characteristics of the American "Queen Anna": the chair surface is yoke-shaped, decorated with bas-reliefs, the chair back is vase-shaped slats, and the chair surface is made into a horseshoe shape, that is, a U-shape, but all the carvings are not too complicated. This style is considered to be based on the style of China furniture.

American pastoral style is characterized by elegant and casual appearance, elegant slate color and antique white, and random graffiti flower patterns are the mainstream features, with random lines but clean and capable. Compared with other styles of furniture, it has the widest variety of furniture.

American pastoral pays attention to the communication between family members, the distinction between private space and open space, and the practicality and firmness of furniture and daily necessities. American pastoral style furniture usually has simplified lines, rough volume and a wide range of materials: solid wood, printed cloth, hand-woven nylon, linen fabric, natural cut stone ... Pastoral style has long occupied an important position in American furniture.

It should be said that it abandons the triviality and luxury, integrates the elegant modeling of classicism with the functional equipment of neoclassicism, is concise, lively and easy to manage, and is naturally more suitable for modern people's daily use. If you own an old piece of furniture used by grandma, you must put it in the most eye-catching position in the room. It symbolizes the importance you attach to culture and history.

The originator of American furniture can be traced back to the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late Renaissance in Europe. From many classic furniture handed down from generation to generation in 18 and 19 centuries, we can see the pioneering spirit and the principle of advocating nature of early American ancestors, and the furniture is elegant in shape without too much decoration.

American furniture's love for old crafts is also caused by this antique complex. On the surface of the original shiny furniture, it deliberately left traces of gouges, as if it had been used for many years. Most of the painted paints are dull, and the rejection of bright surfaces also stems from the hope that the furniture will look as old as possible.

Damage is a treatment procedure that fully reflects the antique effect of American furniture in the painting process. It mainly imitates the traces left by wind erosion, moth-eaten, collision damage and man-made damage, which can create the effect of historical continuity. This kind of basement damage mainly includes the following types:

Wormhole. Wormholes are traces left by insects that imitate wood after furniture has been stored for a long time. Generally speaking, moth-eaten phenomenon is more common in the broken and rotten parts and edges of furniture.

File tag. File marks are traces made by serrated objects in the long-term use or storage of furniture.

Marks of a hammer. Hammer marks are marks left by striking with a hammer at a certain angle, which mainly imitate the marks of furniture being crushed or bruised by other objects in the long-term use.

Spray some. Dots are mostly black and dark brown, which are transparent or opaque coloring pigments, commonly known as "flying black spots" abroad. It mainly imitates the excrement left by flies or the traces left by some colored objects splashing on furniture in the long-term use process, and it is a craft with strong antique effect. Heavy and bulky American furniture can't hide the exquisiteness of details. Very elegant and subjective.

American home style is mainly rooted in European culture. When we talk about "American style" furniture, we usually mean the federal style.

American furniture also attaches importance to decoration. In addition to wind chimes, wheat bunches and urn-shaped decorations, the United States also has some patriotic patterns, such as eagle-shaped patterns. They are usually decorated with mosaics and paints or bas-reliefs.

Keywords hidden dignity is the dignity advocated by Europeans. In America, dignity is never superficial, and disheveled people are often millionaires.

Although the style of American furniture is relatively simple, in fact, every detail is filled with a sense of dignity. American furniture generally uses walnut and maple. In order to highlight the characteristics of wood itself, its veneer is treated with complex plates, which makes the texture itself a kind of decoration and can produce different light sensations at different angles. This makes American furniture more attractive than Italian furniture with golden light.

American beds are very king-like, often in the form of four pillars with a canopy, and sleigh beds are their favorite models. A house is for living. To make people who live in it or occasionally come to live feel warm, the essence of American style lies in this simple gratitude.

In American movies, almost all families have a spacious living room on the first floor of the villa, and a warm and chic fireplace is an essential equipment. Every family member has corresponding furniture and furnishings at every stage of life, and the patterns and colors of children's rooms and elderly rooms are in line with age characteristics. Although they are not keen on living together for generations, they try their best to spend warm time with their closest family members on major festivals. A sofa at home should be enough to carry nearly 10 people. Carpets can prevent old people from slipping. Children can pile wood or tease dogs on the ground at will. The open kitchen allows the hostess to listen to her husband's sweet words while cooking a big meal. This is the place where we will spend our lives, and it is worthwhile to pay more for our family. American furniture pays equal attention to natural solid wood and craftsmanship in material selection, but the style is no longer over-publicized, and the practicality and comfort of furniture are emphasized.

Comfort is the biggest feature of American small furniture, unlike European furniture that emphasizes luxury. The feeling of low-key luxury is more like a real home, without the feeling of a hotel or office, which makes people feel comfortable and casual when they see it. It retains the material and color characteristics of traditional American furniture, inherits the original historical and cultural connotation, abandons the overly complicated decoration, simplifies the lines, makes the modeling more concise and lively, and the carved patterns are relegated to a secondary position, replaced by tough straight lines, and incorporates Korean-style Chinese furniture elements such as Aquarius legs. The style is more in line with the introverted, calm and simple feeling that Chinese people like.
