What is Biedermeier style furniture?
1 Answer
Biedermeier-style furniture is a type of furniture that emerged from Germany during the 19th century. The pieces were the antithesis of the opulent French designs of the time, displaying clean, simple lines and forms that emphasized functionality. Furniture in this style became popular again in the 1970s. Shop a selection of Biedermeier-style furniture on 1stDibs.
