Magazines

                  The advertisement shows the Blue Mountain Rocker and describes it in detail. The description includes the materials it is made of, the comfortable seating it provides, and gives dimensions. This pictures relates directly to our study on chairs, both ancient style chairs and more recent styles. This Blue Mountain Rocker is showing how the finishes, materials, and comfort level make this a chair to purchase.

                  The picture of what looks to be a bedroom shows all the textiles, materials, finishes, and textures that were used. All these come together to look like a busy but comfortable room. They have unique furniture along side the many types of cloths and blankets. This relates to our study of experience and finishes because the picture shows all the individual pieces combined to give off a certain vibe and look.

                  The picture features two chairs that were in a house in Greece. It is a well known castle like building with very intricate details all around the house. These chairs have a rich red pattern for the cushion and the material has gold design imprinted on it. The chair is edged in gold design around the edges. The red and gold together remind me of the older inspirations we studied in class through our Style Book.

                  This picture is also from the same big, grand home in Greece. It was featured in the Vogue magazine issued in the 1980’s. This shows the grander entrance and center of the house with marble, stone, and a statement chandelier. The chandelier, fountain, Greek motifs, and columns show a strong resemblance and influence from the Greek motifs and common design choices we studied in lecture.

                 This picture featured in the Vogue magazine directly relates to our study of the Queen Anne style furniture. The magazine takes a look back at old furniture and focuses on the Queen Anne bureau. We studied a variety of traits and common decoration choices that were put on Queen Anne Style furniture, some that are seen on this featured bureau.
