As part of the building including furniture / furniture and interior structure in it, designing furniture during this time include things that only a person’s interest the longer a challenge many people. Indeed, an awareness of the owners of the importance of furniture in a room, by maintaining the old building, old furniture become an attraction itself, especially in our country, antique furniture more preferable despite the fact that has been reproduced and export, there are still many people who are more concerned with material gain alone, rather than considering profit nonmaterial.
Some of the old antique furniture, such as relics or who are still able to enjoy its beauty, for example, once the interior of the building, were the work of the immortal, the longer become increasingly popular and increasingly sought after. Old furniture in its form in general there are many carvings and arches, even in the palace still leaves antique colonial furniture. Along with the influx of traders from China, India, and Europe, the more visible their influence in models of furniture of that era.
To now is a good furniture design to be studied. It is important to note in the birth of a furniture is the overall shape, wood fiber, and looked from the front as well as the construction in accordance with the state expected, meaning that construction can knock down (knock down) or dead, can be driven or stand still that everything must dipikirkanya before produced furniture.
a. Construction Type Furniture
Most of the connections are used for furniture or mebe work is of a kind that is very old and has been designed exactly for the establishment of a construction.
From various experiences can be seen that the proportion of connections that have become standard to maintain maximum strength of a circuit construction. In general, the connection is widely used in the furniture jobs can be classified into three groups, namely: wide connection, the connection angle of the box / crate, and the connection order.
Type of construction, materials used and the size of each component requires the use of a particular type of connection, the possibility of giving several variations of shapes and proportions that really fit (fit) or fitting in furniture construction that will be created. (Walthon. JA 1984). Usually use a simple type of connection will remain dominant, considering the effectiveness and efficiency of work, but it should be noted resilience, qualities of wood used, and the harmony of proportions of components that made it supports the construction of physical existence furniture expected.
b. construction Frame
Frame construction is divided into two major parts, namely a flat frame construction and frame construction bench
o Construction Frame Flat
– Frame flat consists of a foot connected by two or more threshold.
– Frame width is likely to require additional foot and threshold are placed parallel to each other or as a room divider order into multiple plots.
– Flat Frame is used for doors, panel frame, the box frame (frame for carcase), rude glass, supporting the top table (Table top), partitions and the like.
– Frame-frame is usually covered with plywood or hardboard, massive wood panels, mounted on a groove or spooning, also a sheet of glass and so on.
– type relationship / connection used is:
* Relationship paste (butt joint), dowel, slanted chest relationship, the relationship is half the width (half), the relationship bridle (bridle) or purus holes, depending on the purpose of making the order.
The side walls and cabinet doors using the principle of a flat frame construction
o Construction Frame Bench
This construction is used in the manufacture of: table, bench (stool), chairs, pedestal and foot rack (cabinet). Variations mix needed in penyusunannnya relations, as well as to consider the setting of wood fiber structure of each part, such as the feet, the threshold, the framework divider and so on. In general diapakai connection is half as thick ties timber (half), dowel, purus hole, bridles (Bridle) hardened angular relationship with a unifying material or by using a block pengelem (glue-block)
Drawer Chest furniture implements Construction Frame Stool (Stool Frame Construction) that is on the foot
Construction boxes and crates (carcase and box construction)
o Construction box (carcase construction)
o Construction box frame (Frame carcase)
Box frame consists of several frame are connected to each other, to form a box frame. Order segments which stand as pillars and horizontal as the base or threshold. For the base or threshold is not always a framework, but it can also just pieces of wood that connects the left and right sections. A simple box frame usually use braces wood screws and wood glue or reinforcement plate, but can also use other forms of connection can be more binding.
As the material of the lid typically use: plywood, hardboard sheets or glass. Threshold crossed for securing drawers and shelves or connected screws fitted with reinforcement using the same or groove connection, diarrhea or dowel holes.
