    Contemporary/ Modern
    • In general, contemporary furniture
    uses modern materials like glass,
    metal, chrome and composites. The
    shapes tend to be very angular, with
    a lot of right angle corners, distinct
    edges, and overall lines that may be
    asymmetrical or otherwise not quite
    square. There is usually very little in
    the way of carving, decoration, or
    other intricate details. Surfaces are
    typically very smooth in texture and
    flow in an even line from one end of
    the piece to the other.
