This book discusses the influence of traditional Chinese furniture on modern furniture design and the development of furniture across the world.

Changes of materials and concepts used in modern furniture design are closely related to ancient Chinese furniture design.

By sorting out the part of modern furniture design related to Chinoiserie, it is concluded that the Chinese furniture system is one of the two major systems in the development of the global furniture system, and the emergence and maturity of the Chinese furniture system was almost independent, and completely dominated by social functionalism.
