INTRODUCTION
Furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as
seating (e.g., stools, chairs, and sofas), eating (tables), storing items, eating and/or working with
an item, and sleeping (e.g., beds and hammocks).
Furniture design is a specialized field where function and fashion collide. Many interior
designers believe that furniture is one of the most important aspects of interior space. Pieces of
furniture not only add function and practicality to space, but they also add style and
personality.
CONCEPT
It is an abstract or generic idea generalized from particular instances. Since my client is a fan of
Dark Disney Movie, I decided to design my furniture in a Gothic Style. And for this I took
inspiration from the movie “MALEFICIENT”.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Ergonomics can roughly be defined as the study of people in their working environment. More
specifically, an ergonomist (pronounced like economist) designs or modifies the work to fit the
worker, not the other way around. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to
work.
STANDARD DIMENSIONS
The dimension value is the distance between the start and end markers measured in the
default units.

The dimensions of a dressing table vary from model to model. They typically have a range of
30 to 35 inches for the length, 14 to 18 inches for the depth, and 29 to 32 inches for the height.
In my case, the dressing table’s height from ground level is 2’8”. The length of the table is 2’10”.
The barrier is of 4”. The breadth of the table from the wall is 1’. The mirror is placed 2” above
the table and its height is 2’. The length is 2’ and horn is 8”. So the overall height of the mirror is
3’6”.
MATERIALS
Rubber wood
Chalk paint
1) RUBBER WOOD:
Dressing table made out of rubber wood is durable and affordable. This wood is made out
of rubber tree that produces latex and belongs to the maple family – hardwood. It is also
known as parawood and is known to grow in tropical regions.

Pros:
Durable
Contrary to most Western beliefs, rubber wood is not as flexible as we think. It’s quite a
durable hardwood, belonging to the maple family. It has a strength of about 9500 psi, stiffness
of 1.3 million psi, and hardness of 500 pounds.
Cost-effective
Since rubber wood is often thought of as a byproduct, it sells for lower prices than most wood.
There’s this notion that rubber wood is not a durable product, so most people opt for other
timber like oak, maple, or cherry Ideal for furniture.
Processed rubber wood is very stable, with shrinkage and cracking kept to a minimum, making
them great for furniture. Moreover, rubber wood has an awesome blonde to medium tan color.
Cons:
Perishable
Rubber wood is perishable and has a strong tendency to decay. Moreover, it is susceptible to
fungal staining and insect attacks. To curb these effects, it has to undergo a lot of harsh
chemical treatments, which can be a turnoff to some.
2) CHALK PAINT:
Chalk Paint is a decorative furniture paint. Chalk Paint very rarely requires any preparation,
such as sanding or priming, and can be used indoors or outside, on just about any surface.

Pro: Durability
Although there are a few extra steps, once chalk paint has had time to cure, it creates a very
durable finish. As the wax topcoat dries, it hardens and provides a finish that is resistant to
scuffs and scratches.
