An Exploration in Texture.

An exploration in texture. A seemingly random catch phrase used to denote the placement of a header by this website building tool. But we can have fun with it and ponder that with the idea of furniture. Furniture could be the perfect field for that throw away statement as we all spend much of our lives in contact with furniture. Furniture naturally is one of the greatest consistent tactile interactions in each of our lives. So let’s go on that exploration in texture, because (insert trope here).

We can view texture in a few ways and they tend to focus on the visual and tactile senses when used in common. Visual textures usually denoted by pattern or pattern-like regularity, while solids tends to be considered flat. Tactile textures being our natural mode of interacting with the physical world. So an element that can be interacted with in both realms of texture would be of greater inherent potential value. Thus if an object can reach the heights of that value it would become a lifelong fixture in a life. For instance in the realm of furniture upon which we spend every day in such as a chair, is not a chair that is of specific comfort to you that also is of high visual enjoyment/beauty some thing that one would ideally wish to acquire.

So where does that leave us? I suppose we should look around ourselves at the furniture that surrounds us and ask, is that texturally pleasing in both senses to us? And if not, I suppose it is time to start changing that.
