Classical Civilization: Greece

The thing that I found most interesting about this time period is the furniture. The furniture was mainly made of leather, copper, bronze, iron, marble, and wood. Tables were a portable size and were built in correlation with the height of the couch that was in the room. They also made use of multipurpose furniture to save space. For instance, their beds would serve as both, a sleeping and eating area.


The Klismos Chair was made of wood and is most known for their splayed legs. This chair was originally made for women and was known as one of the most graceful chairs. There are many modernized versions of this chair that are often used in dining rooms today.
