Aging Furniture Returns Better Appeal
Wood has been the key element in most home furniture we have today. Ranging from bed frames up to tables, you can see that the difference lies in concept and how each design can uniquely stand out over the rest.
For furniture designers, it is not about what it can currently provide potential home owners. It is the lasting impression and the improvement of its overall look with the help of time. The longer they are kept the better and most people can seen this when they have old furniture which eventually become antique and higher priced when appraised by furniture specialists.
In place of high-tech plastic furniture were more pieces made of wood. New lighting fixtures tended to show off their bulbs instead of concealing them. Wall coverings, drawn by hand, had an old-fashioned feel.
Furniture makers used reclaimed, indigenous and painted wood. One designer, Karl Zahn of Brooklyn, works in white pine from upstate New York. “I like the way it ages and develops scars with use,” he said. “In fact, it is made to be abused.”
