There has always been a certain love affair

between furniture and the space occupied

a creation of a seemingly effortless, yet well-considered look / feel

of objects nestling comfortably in a defined setting.

 

This synergy generated from an intimacy of furniture

in sync with the encompassing architecture

is represented in the design concept of

furnitecture (furniture + architecture).

 

…

What is furnitecture?

 

a design scope through which furniture is viewed / experienced as:

 

fitting naturally, almost organically into a specific space

structured with multi-perspective, multi-purpose intent

crafted with minimalist aesthetic attitude in materials and construction

manufactured with architectural elements incorporated into the core design
