Furniture Styles

By Oliver Knezevic

In this rich illustrated book, book we are going to present furniture styles, starting from the beginning of civilization up to the modern era.
Considering the entire development of furniture styles, we can notice two different approaches in furniture design: classical and romantic.
Classicism, with its roots in ancient times, is characterized by symmetrical lines, seriousness, elegant appearance, as well as by controlled and balanced form. The best example of classical style in furniture design is baroque furniture of the seventeenth century.
Romanticism, in opposite to classicism, invites with its appearance to joy, passion, humor and movement. Rococo furniture style from the eighteenth century is the best example of romantic view on house décor.

Izdavač, knjižar, dizajner knjiga, prevodilac i priređivač Oliver Knežević je često umeo da nas iznenadi zanimljivim izdanjima; ovoga puta, međutim, odlučio se da nas iznenadi jednim provokativnim pesničkim projektom, zbirkom po mnogo čemu drugačijom od tekuće produkcije.
