Another metal used as furniture is Aluminum is often a more popular choice than

wrought iron for patio furniture because of theresistance to corrosion and lighter weight. Indeed,

aluminum is among the most important metals in theworld due largely to these very properties. Actually, atone point in history aluminum was considered evenmore valuable than gold and Napoleon had his tableset with aluminum plates when important guestsarrived.

The property of aluminum that makes it so valuablefor outdoor uses is its resistant to rust due to the thinlayer of oxidation that forms when exposed to air. Thedull, silvery appearance that is the hallmark of aluminum is actually the product of this oxidation.Thus, it makes sense that this material would be aspopular for outdoor use in furniture as well as myriad

other applications.

Principles & Rules of Furniture Design

No objection to any worker, however inexperienced,attempting to express his own individuality, but the naturalthing would be for him to express it in more or less primitiveforms of construction that are, so far as they go, correct,instead of attempting something that, when it is finished, isall wrong because the student has not understood what hewas about. Unquestionably there are certain principles andrules as to design, proportion and form that are asfundamental in their nature as are the tables of addition,subtraction, division and multiplication, with relation tomathematics, or as the alphabet is as a basis to literature,but they are not yet formulated for general use. The trainedworker learns these things by experience and comes tohave a sort of sixth sense with regard to their application,but this takes strong direct thinking, keen observation andthe power of initiative that is possessed only by the veryexceptional and highly skilled workman.

in the idealistic way of the revivalists atthe end of the 18th century.

Only the master luxuriated in the comfortof an armchair - the rest of the householdhad to make do with sitting at a trestletable on a long bench or form.
