This ideal of simplicity extended to their furniture design, as you will see.

这种朴素的理想扩展到了他们的家具设计，就像你们将要见到的那样。

Because the shape of their furniture wasn\'t supposed to be unnecessarily decorative, the furniture\'s surface became the only place to create visual pleasure.

由于他们家具的形状没有不必要的装饰，家具的表面成为唯一创造视觉愉悦的地方
