This book provides a precise overview of the stylistic term "Biedermeier" and distinguishes it from related eras both historically and in terms of design.

Haaff analyses the characteristic formal features of Biedermeier furniture: simple, clear lines, reduced ornamentation, the woods used (above all cherry, walnut, birch, mahogany), high-quality veneer patterns and solid craftsmanship. The design contrast to the Empire with its joy of representation is particularly emphasised - the Biedermeier style instead focused on bourgeois cosiness, functional elegance and intimate moderation.
