tailieunhanh - FURNITURE CARE AND HANDLING

Focusing on furniture layout, Bukowski and S´ equin [1995] intro- duce “object association” constraints that are designed to facili- tate direct manipulation of furniture arrangements. For example, the user can constrain a bookshelf to slide along walls without penetration or separation. Xu et al. [2002] present a constraint- based furniture layout system that incorporates pairwise relation- ships which enforce stability, non-penetration, and alignment. Ger- mer and Schwarz [2009] describe an agent-based procedure for fur- niture layout. In contrast to these techniques, our approach is based on established layout guidelines employed by practicing interior designers. These guidelines include global criteria such as visual balance, which cannot be expressed as a collection of. | FURNITURE CARE AND HANDLING Table of Contents Introduction Preventable Damage The Environment Light Relative Humidity Biopredation Insect Infestation Rodents Mold Mildew and Fungi Furniture Use and Care Handling and Moving Furniture General Concerns Seating Furniture Tables Case Furniture Large Clocks Furniture Maintenance Cleaning Surfaces Cleaning Upholstery Metal Hardware Reupholstering Summary Appendix Furniture Polishes Aerosols Liquids Semisolids Selected Bibliography Furniture and wooden objects are part of our lives every day. Some are utilitarian such as a chair at the dining table others are aesthetic such as an antique sculpture or carving still others may have an emotional or symbolic importance as mementos such as a chest that has been in the family for years. Whatever their nature or purpose if they are important to us they deserve the best care we can provide for them - unlike the chair illustrated on the cover of the video case which is being gently misused. The information in this booklet is not about restoring or repairing furniture and wooden objects it is about caring for and preventing damage to them. Understanding and dealing with the causes of damage are well within the abilities of nearly all caretakers of valued wooden objects whether a collections manager at a major museum or an individual safeguarding family heirlooms. The aim of this booklet is to explain how to minimize the preventable damage to furniture. Preventable Damage Damage to and destruction of furniture takes many forms and paths. We use the term preventable damage to describe those conditions and events over which a furniture caretaker has some influence. By far the most predominant damage to furniture is caused by poor choices its users and caretakers make through misunderstanding the nature of wooden objects. Consider the major causes of preventable damage Poorly controlled ambient environment light relative humidity and temperature Careless use handling and maintenance .
