Abstract :Furniture, the indicator of the identity, belief and prestige, being always in interaction with person’s life, is in addition to its function, a meaning carrier and communication object. Furniture, which were previously manufactured due to practical, aesthetic and status based needs, but started to be used deliberately in order to transmit messages by the beginning of the last century; has reached a broad meaning content and diversity by the influence of the technological developments at present, too. Contemporary artists and designers deem this form as a tool which transmits thoughts, philosophy, ideologies, statements, ideas, feelings and can at the same time be used as an application area where experimental manufactures, composite materials, scientific researches, contemporary design and production methods can be tried out.  
Keywords : Furniture, production methods
