The influence of traditional Eastern and Western ways of living on furniture

The influence of space utilization and layout, furniture form and structure.

1, the impact of space utilization and layout: the traditional way of living in the East, such as the Japanese tatami mats and the Chinese way of beds and couches, pay more attention to sitting and lying on the floor, so the layout of the furniture is much more simple, usually with low furniture, in order to facilitate the activities and leg rest. In contrast, higher seats and tables are more commonly used in traditional Western living styles, which emphasize matching the height of the person to the furniture and are more suitable for sitting.

2, the influence of furniture form and structure: the traditional furniture in the East focus on light, simple and mobility to adapt to the needs of multi-functionality and flexibility. Furniture is often made of wood, focusing on traditional carpentry and detail decoration. Western traditional furniture, on the other hand, focuses on carving and decoration, and prefers to use heavier materials, such as solid wood and marble, to demonstrate luxury and texture.
