Memory, Knowledge, and the Evolution of Furniture

Every era in history has had its own stylistic trend, very often dictated by influential figures who, through their power, were able to commission unique works from the great masters and artists of past eras. From the ancient Romans to the Middle Ages, from the Renaissance to the elegance of 18th-century furniture and furnishings, history has taught us the importance of style and art in interior design. Today, all this artistic heritage from the past prompts us to reflect on just how essential it is to apply this knowledge to the design of contemporary living spaces—the ability to bring our ideas to life, to create welcoming and functional environments, and to craft furnishings and furniture with great character.
