Furniture is movable objects designed to support various human activities such as seating (e.g., chairs, stools, tables and sofas) and sleeping (e.g., mattresses). Furniture is also used to hold objects at a convenient elevation for work (as horizontal floors above the ground, such as furniture and tables), or even to store things (e.g., cupboards and racks). Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or spiritual goal. It can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be produced using a variety of woodworking joint parts which often mirror the local culture.Folks have been using natural items, such as tree stumps, moss and rocks, as furniture since the beginning of individual civilisation. Archaeological research demonstrates from around 30,000 years ago, people commenced carving and constructing their own furniture, using wood, natural stone, and animal bones. Early furniture out of this period is known from artwork such as a Venus figurine within Russia, depicting the goddess on the throne. The first surviving extant furniture is in the homes of Skara Brae in Scotland, and includes cupboards, dressers and mattresses all made of natural stone. Complex construction techniques such as joinery begain in the first dynastic period of Egypt, with constructed wooden pieces including stools and tables, 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 Middle Age groups was heavy usually, oak, and ornamented. Furniture design extended during the Italian Renaissance of the fifteenth and fourteenth hundred years. The seventeenth century, in both Southern and Northern Europe, was seen as a opulent, often gilded Baroque designs. The nineteenth century is usually defined by revival styles. The first three-quarters of the twentieth century are seen as the march towards Modernism often. One unique outgrowth of post-modern furniture design is a return to natural shapes and textures
