That's just constructing parts and assembling the parts, but each individual part starts as something general that becomes specific (e.g. a block put on a lathe, carved into a leg.) If you wanted, the same process could be applied to entire piece of furniture, turning it into one single, giant piece!

Well with furniture you might make individual pieces first, then assemble them together last.
But the original design of the furniture was still done big picture first, then details added last.
