Furniture is movable things intended to support various human activities such as seats (e.g., chairs, stools, furniture and sofas) and sleeping (e.g., beds). Furniture is also used to hold objects at a convenient elevation for work (as horizontal areas above the ground, such as tables and desks), or to store things (e.g., cupboards and cabinets). Furniture can be a product of design and is known as a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a spiritual or symbolic purpose. It can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be produced by using a variety of woodworking joints which often reveal the local culture.Folks have been using natural objects, such as tree stumps, moss and rocks, as furniture since the beginning of human civilisation. Archaeological research shows that from around 30,000 years back, people began constructing and carving their own furniture, using wood, stone, and animal bone fragments. Early furniture from this period is well known from artwork like a Venus figurine found in Russia, depicting the goddess over a throne. The first surviving extant furniture is in the homes of Skara Brae in Scotland, and includes cupboards, bedrooms and dressers all constructed from natural stone. Complex construction techniques such as joinery begain in the first 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 ranges was usually heavy, 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 characterized by opulent, gilded Baroque designs often. The nineteenth hundred years is identified by revival styles. The first three-quarters of the twentieth century tend to be seen as the march towards Modernism. One unique outgrowth of post-modern furniture design is a go back to natural shapes and textures
