Mobiliario

Mobiliario is a term used in Spanish to refer to the furniture and fittings that equip interior and exterior spaces. It encompasses the collection of movable objects that provide seating, surfaces, storage, display, and organization. The word derives from mueble (furniture) with the suffix -ario, and in urban planning the related concept mobiliario urbano denotes street furniture installed in public spaces such as benches, lighting, kiosks and planters.

Typical categories include domestic mobiliario (tables, chairs, beds, dressers), office mobiliario (desks, task chairs, filing systems), and storage and display mobiliario (armarios, estanterías, vitrinas). Exterior and urban mobiliario covers benches, bollards, lighting, and information kiosks. Materials vary from wood and engineered wood products to metal, glass, plastic and textiles for upholstery or finishes, with design balancing aesthetics, durability, and ergonomics.

Design and production involve carpentry, metalworking, upholstery, and assembly, often incorporating modular or adaptable systems. The field reflects changing needs and styles, from traditional craft to modern and contemporary movements that emphasize comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. In many contexts, mobiliario is considered together with interior design and architecture, forming an integrated approach to shaping spaces.
