A specialization of DurableGoods, HumanOccupationConstructObject,
and SolidTangibleArtifact. Each instance of FurniturePiece is a
durable artifact of a type that is typically used in human dwellings
(see HumanShelterConstruction) to make them more comfortable. Many
useful specializations of this collection can be classified according
to the main function their instances serve. Such functions include:
(i) providing support for people's bodies while they are seated or
reclining (e.g. Bed_PieceOfFurniture and FootStool), (ii) providing
work or activity surfaces (e.g. Desk_PieceOfFurniture and
DiningRoomTable), (iii) providing organized or protective storage
for one's belongings (e.g. Dresser_PieceOfFurniture and
Bookcase), and (iv) providing illumination (e.g.
ElectricLamp). Most pieces of furniture are NonPoweredDevices
(q.v.) in that they don't need any energy input in order to serve their
function; but of course there are plenty of exceptions to this, such
as electric lamps, console TVs, and hospital beds. Note that
FurniturePiece only includes _whole_ pieces of furniture; e.g. a
sofa is an instance, but an arm of a sofa is not.
