The Importance of Textiles in the User Experience in Interior and Furniture Design

摘要

Since Prehistory, the interior of human habitats is a reflection of their existence, therefore, man has adapted space to his needs and physical conditions. The adaptability of furniture and shelter spaces corresponded to sedentary or nomadic life forms. During the Modern Era, from the 15th century Renaissance, and especially with the Baroque in the 17th and 18th centuries, furniture and decoration began to play a relevant role in the design of interiors, both religious and civil architecture. The relationship between architecture and design and its implications is a question that leads us to reflect on the nature of the disciplinary approach to design itself and its application or performance as interior design. Thus, this article aims to emphasize the importance of textiles in the user's relationship with interior space and furniture. As evolutionary concepts, interiors and furniture have undergone profound changes and adaptations in response to the prevailing aesthetic power of symbolic character and to the comfort created by the needs of its users. In this sense, by reviewing the literature and presenting examples it is our intention to clarify concepts and modes of action.
