Designer furniture

==History==
By around 3000 BC craftsmen of the Middle East had already mastered the art of turning wood on the lathe.\nThe raw wooden blocks to be worked consisted of round branches or thin trunks which were clamped to pegs at both ends and around which, at one end, a few centimetres away from the mounting, string was wound. This string was then fastened to a wooden stick. The wood turner sat at his workbench and, with his left hand, moved the wooden stick horizontally to the piece he had to turn, which started the block rotating. With his right hand he guided a metal chisel, while his foot served as a counter-check.\nThe wood turners of Antiquity were able to finish more than a dozen pieces an hour.\nThe Greeks, too, worked soft wood with saws, files, drills, planes, chisels and hammers, though they had not yet discovered how to make veneering.\nIt was only in the 20th century that ultra-modern designer furniture made of metal, leather and synthetics appeared on the market.
==Did You Know That?==
Old wooden furniture is not in demand any more. New designs in interior decoration are based on fashionable materials such as aluminium and leather.\nThe Charleston Era has given rise to a new generation that insists on eccentric and individual taste, while refusing conservative ideas.\nThe number of couples and families who spend their money chiefly on furniture and interior accessories is dramatically increasing. 'Our home is our castle!', is their motto.\n\n
