Furniture Marketing, 2nd Edition, contains an overview of how
furniture products are developed, marketed, and presented to
targeted retailers and consumers. Bennington focuses on developing
an appreciation for furniture as a functional art form. This new
edition covers the entire industry, including types of furniture,
design periods, product development, and manufacturing. The text
also explains how to sell furniture through pricing, promotion, and
distribution. Residential furniture is the main focus of Furniture
Marketing, but there is a chapter on contract furniture. This book
can serve as a helpful reference for students as well as beginning
and experienced employees of manufacturers, retailers, and
wholesalers.
Synesthetic design strives to develop products that systematically
incorporate all five senses. In future, the current wealth of
medical technical insights in psychology, physiology, motor
functions, and neurology and the development of innovative
materials with astonishing new properties will open up almost
unlimited opportunities for the designer's creativity. Haverkamp
brings together for the first time precisely those aspects of this
fundamental knowledge that are specifically relevant for designers.
The result is a clear and well-organized handbook that offers
designers of all schools a a solid foundation for their own
designs.
Michael Haverkamp has been working on the concept of multi-sensory
design for many years; he is an internationally recognized expert
on sound design and synesthesia research in general.
