Flat Surface On Furniture Plays A Major Role.

A flat surface or better known as "flat surface" of furniture is a surface found on a piece of furniture. Usually this surface is found at the top or most visible or most exposed. The flat surface of a piece of furniture can be seen mostly on bookshelves, media consoles (TV shelves), kitchen cabinets, "kitchen islands", various types of tables, various types of chairs, various types of shelves and many more.

Function.

The function of this flat surface varies according to the type of furniture. One of the main functions of this flat surface is to place something. Flat surfaces have a variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses and designs. Flat surfaces are not able to stand on their own and are usually supported by pillars, walls, cables and so on.

Design Today.

Today, the design on flat surfaces has evolved according to current trends. These changes include color, space, line, appearance, shape, texture and size. Not forgetting that changes can be clearly seen in the use of materials used based on the location, type of furniture, and the design theme of a space.

For the headquarters itself, this change is what creates more colorful colors in the design of a piece of furniture. It should not be forgotten that this change gives the artist the opportunity to work more creatively.

Joints or "jointing" used on flat surfaces.

In the picture below, the studio headquarters attached several examples of "coffee tables" that have various designs and distinctive features that are able to attract attention. Based on the picture, we can judge that the design of a flat surface on a piece of furniture is not limited to a square shape or left empty. With today's technology, designers are able to further develop their ideas and creativity, not limited to just designing the shape, color, technology of the furniture, but by simply changing the flat surface of the furniture, they are able to give a big impact in a design.

Based on the picture, we can see that not only the flat surface on top is changed, but the bottom part is also able to give variety. This is because the flat surface on the "coffee table" has another main function, and the furniture designer does not want that function to be disturbed.

Some examples of coffee tables that have an interesting flat surface design.

  1. Flat surface design that is oval or like a "surfing board".
  2. In addition to changing physical properties, changes such as changing the function of a flat surface can also change the design of a piece of furniture.
  3. What is interesting about the flat surface of this piece of furniture is that it is shaped like a banana leaf. Therefore "finish" on the surface the designer uses "Vernier" or "Laminate" wood pattern.
  4. On the furniture, the "side table" uses a method that is quite different from other examples, which is that the flat surface has a pattern of squares and holes. This perforated pattern has its own function in line with the main function of the table which is to be able to store things, so the flat surface with holes is intended to make it easier for users to see the 'things' that are inside the table.

Flat surface design today plays an important role in a furniture design. Various elements can be combined as mentioned above.
