This video explores the design principles used by ancient furniture makers, who relied on the human body's proportions rather than precise measurements. The video uses a simple step stool as an example, demonstrating how to create harmonious proportions using a pair of dividers and the measurements of a handspan, shoulder width, and foot length. The video suggests that these ancient design methods created furniture that was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
