Furniture manufacturing was completely handcrafted before buzz the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. This meant much physical work as well as much dexterity. The construction of furniture was custom-made and within society the craftsman had a relevant role. When arose factories artisans were gradually transformed into workers in factories. Within history we find some 5000 years of artisan production of furniture starting from Egypt in 3000 B.C. You can see in this a very important influence of religion in the furniture design. The importance of the craftsmanship lies in that current furniture designers invented no desks, tables, chairs, etc.

Each of them created from an already existing concept. Industrial design not created bedrooms or its furnishings, not created living rooms and chairs, but that gave him one greater number of production and in some cases a stronger material. Manufacturing artisan was full of wealth, especially cultural and symbolic. For many crafts suggests a mixture of art and design and is not something outlandish if we consider wonderful furniture created based on much work. Who manufactured furniture and utensils for the houses before the Industrial Revolution were carpenters, weavers and blacksmiths.

These artisans used resources that surrounded them to build products that should last for a long time and as mentioned at the beginning, made to measure. Craftsmen had enough skill to carry out the orders of their clients. These were different as well as their needs, and the artisan must adapt to them. As these crafting furniture required so much hard work and dedication, used to have a very high price. Any piece of furniture or decorative object, for example a room sleeping, was unique. Therefore the furnishings of a house was regarded as something very precious and were inherited from one generation to another. Edges and irregular contours were a feature of furniture manufacture craft and this was happening as a result of being constructed by hand. You can also be said that the colors were deep and strong. Production in large quantities was characteristic of the Industrial Revolution, meaning much more important development, numerically speaking, all kinds of products including furniture. This new type of production had a negative impact with regard to fine furniture. Artisans who created furniture of ancient styles such as Victorian furniture, could not compete with those who built furniture with machinery since they were gradually decreasing in number. Thus the competition became impossible. There was a revolution in manufacturing furniture with the industrialization of the mode of industrial production and by her were also standardized products both in North America and Europe.
