The first time, these objects were dug out from a proper piece of wood, but we cannot speak about furniture in this sense of the word. As the first settlements and towns began to appear the need for furniture continuously increased. The basic elements of furniture (bed, seat, table and chest) were developed by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. They possessed knowledge about the most important tools and operations to cut boards from a log, the hand planer for making plane and smooth surfaces and the turning lathe to shape cylindrical and profiled contours. In the subsequent thousand years, a relatively slow development took place depending highly on the creativity and wealth of particular nations. In the second millennium of our time, the development had considerably accelerated, especially in Europe, and different furniture styles were subsequently created and introduced. These “style” furniture were very demanding in material, skill and labour, and, therefore affordable only for a ve
