Furniture is movable objects designed to support various real human activities such as seating (e.g., recliners, stools, tables and sofas) and sleeping (e.g., beds). Furniture is also used to carry items at a convenient level for work (as horizontal surfaces above the bottom, such as dining tables and desks), or even to store things (e.g., cupboards and cabinets). Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. Furthermore to furniture's efficient role, it can serve a religious or symbolic purpose. It could be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be produced using a variety of woodworking joints which often echo the local culture.People have been using natural objects, such as tree stumps, moss and rocks, as furniture since the beginning of individual 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 out of this period is known from artwork like a Venus figurine found in Russia, depicting the goddess on the throne. The first surviving extant furniture is in the true homes of Skara Brae in Scotland, and includes cupboards, dressers and mattresses all made of rock.

The furniture of the center Age groups was usually heavy, oak, and ornamented. Furniture design widened through the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth century. The seventeenth century, in both Southern and Northern Europe, was characterized by opulent, often gilded Baroque designs. The nineteenth century is defined by revival styles. The first three-quarters of the twentieth century have emerged as the march towards Modernism often. One unique outgrowth of post-modern furniture design is a return to natural textures and designs
