Unit Summary 8

                  When it comes to finishes and furnishings in an interior space, I have learned that they are crucial when it comes to making a space and giving off the appropriate experience and vibe to those within the interior. It is important to also know that furnishings display the status and experience of a room while providing spaces to eat, sit, and be social. Learning the history of the pieces helped me to understand how these pieces could demonstrate status. Back in historical times, Egyptian stools were used to be sat on but a chair proved and showed status. The chairs and furniture pieces were often not comfortable and it was not important for them to make it comfortable. The chair seats wee low and the furniture was basic and when one knows of these characteristics, it makes sense as to why an Egyptian like piece was put into an interior space.

                  Now a day, some pieces are done in the same way and comfort is not a primary importance for the designer. Some pieces are uncomfortable because they may not have meant to be sit on for long periods of time. Other pieces are made for comfort and draw a person in to sit and enjoy social times while being comfortable in.

The stools below are within a kitchen space and can be sat on to eat at the middle island. These chairs are comfortable for the time being, but are not meant to be sat on for a long period of time. They fulfill its purpose but give off the experience that is appropriate. These stools are meant to be sat on when eating rather than comfortable social settings. 

The living room space below shows comfortable and sofa furnishings that give off the vibe and experience to allow a pace for social gatherings. All of these furnishings, sofas, and chairs face the center of the room so that conversations flow and are understood. These furnishings show what should be done in the space and allows comfort during the social times.
