In the Stone Age, comfort was not in the first place. At least not with furniture. Back then, they couldn't even dream of the level of comfort we have today, so beds (which weren't beds then) and sofas (which weren't sofas then) carved out of stone naturally didn't offer nearly the comfort of today. Fernando Mastrangelo also tackled stone, who presented furniture at the 2016 New York Design Week, in which he condensed 8,000 years of furniture development. Take a look at the sofa, mirror, coffee table and bench, which hide the evolution of furniture from the Stone Age to today.
Furniture, which is a mixture the Stone Age and the comforts of the 21st century, is work Fernando Mastrangelo. This one is carved furniture presented at New York Design Week 2016, where he delivered various elaborate monoliths. From a sofa, a bench, a coffee table to a mirror. When we say that it is the work of Mastrangelo, we are doing nature an injustice, because half of the design was contributed by mother nature. It is a combination natural and human hands.
