Furniture is movable things intended to support various real human activities such as seating (e.g., seats, stools, furniture and sofas) and sleeping (e.g., bedrooms). Furniture is also used to carry things at a convenient elevation for work (as horizontal areas above the ground, such as furniture and desks), or to store things (e.g., cupboards and shelves). Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. Furthermore to furniture's efficient role, it can provide a religious or symbolic goal. It could be created from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be made using a variety of woodworking joint parts which often mirror the local culture.People have been using natural objects, such as tree stumps, rocks and moss, as furniture since the beginning of human civilisation. Archaeological research demonstrates from around 30,000 years back, people started constructing and carving their own furniture, using wood, stone, and animal bone fragments. Early furniture out of this period is known from artwork like a Venus figurine found in Russia, depicting the goddess on a throne. The first surviving extant furniture is at the true homes of Skara Brae in Scotland, and includes cupboards, bedrooms and dressers all constructed from rock. Complex construction techniques such as joinery begain in the early dynastic period of Egypt, with constructed wooden pieces including tables and stools, sometimes decorated with valuable metals or ivory. The evolution of furniture design continued in ancient Greece and ancient Rome, with thrones being commonplace as well as the klinai, multipurpose couches used for relaxing, eating, and sleeping. The furniture of the center Age range was heavy usually, oak, and ornamented. Furniture design broadened through the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth hundred years. The seventeenth century, in both Southern and Northern Europe, was characterized by opulent, gilded Baroque designs often. The nineteenth century is defined by revival styles. The first three-quarters of the twentieth century are often seen as the march towards Modernism. One unique outgrowth of post-modern furniture design is a return to natural textures and designs
