  Empire fell. After this time, furniture was
  generally utilitarian in nature.
• Evidence of these pieces are primarily found in
  manuscripts, sculptures, and paintings.
• Plain tables and stools were typically used in
  kitchens, and storage cabinets had plain paneled
  doors.

The modern kitchen is all about having a great
space to cook, eat, socialize, gather as a family
and relax. The appeal of the kitchen to be a part
of the every day-to-day action has become so
great therefore, the average kitchen project has
become so much more than simply upgrading old
cabinetry. The kitchen, and dining merge into a
multi functional living space, which becomes a
place for social gathering and offers scope for
personal style preferences.

Kitchen and living blend into a single
environment where furniture is integrated
together. In the living room, minimalist
furniture that matches the kitchen helps create a
space that transitions smoothly. The rooms are in
dialogue through the furniture, geometries and
finishes, maintaining their functions.
