ABSTRACT
This chapter presents how cantilevered furniture, such as cantilevered chairs and tables work structurally and what the performance differences are between cantilevered and non-cantilevered furniture. Furniture performs as a very important integral part of interior space. Many architects have been fascinated by the idea of designing customized furniture for their own designed buildings. Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest architects of all time, designed furniture as unified components of his architecture. He customized this furniture for many of his designed buildings to integrate the design of the entire building as a whole. Chairs, which intimately hold people who sit on them, are one of the most popular designed furniture items by architects. The essential structural configuration of most common chairs includes legs which support seats and vertically cantilevered backrests. The production of actual cantilever chairs never followed the original construction strategy with multiple pieces of metal pipes and elbows.
