How are most furniture styles named?

  1. Named for a prominent designer at a particular time period

  2. Named after the type of wood used

  3. Named based on the country of origin

  4. Named after a specific customer who ordered it

The correct answer is: Named for a prominent designer at a particular time period

Most furniture styles are named for a prominent designer at a particular time period because designers often play a significant role in influencing the trends and characteristics of a particular style. Naming a furniture style after a prominent designer helps to give credit to the individual who created or popularized that style. Option B, naming furniture after the type of wood used, is not typically how furniture styles are named. Option C, naming furniture based on the country of origin, while it can be a factor in naming certain styles, it is not the primary naming convention for most furniture styles. Option D, naming furniture after a specific customer who ordered it, is not a common practice in the furniture industry.
