The Research On Art And Modern Technology Of The Chinese Furniture Inlay

The inlay technique of Chinese traditional furniture is longstanding and exquisite. There are many antique exclaiming with admiration. Recently, the craft of inlay develops slowly and the mechanical extent is low. For carrying the Chinese traditional craft forward, enriching furniture market, meeting the esthetic need which broad masses enhances day by day, improving the mechanical extent, the systematic research of the inlay technique of the Chinese traditional furniture is urgent.First of all, the thesis discusses the artistic quality of inlay from the effect of ornamentation. Then it compares inlay technique with another techniques, contrasts their similarities and differences, analyses their advantages and disadvantages. It poses the advantages of the inlay technique are that enriching the furniture's color, displaying and contrasts the skin texture of inlay material, bringing intense visual feel, and giving the viewers by the esthetic sense. It classifies the universal inlay's material, and analyses the characteristic of general material such as timber, stone, metal, clamshell, bone thoroughly. It discusses the artistic quality of inlay from the inlay's material to comprehend and grasp inlay technique firmly. It analyses the inlay's designs firmly to research the standard of aesthetics. It poses principle how to use the composition and color when plan the inlay's design. Go step further, the thesis analyses the inlay's themes. It reveals the culture connotation of the inlay's themes and the profound influence of the Chinese traditional culture to the design of the inlay's patterns from analyzing the culture of Chinese traditional aesthetics. So that comprehends the cultural essence of the inlay technique of the Chinese traditional furniture penetratingly. Base on those, pouring into the modern elements and developing the design's though, provide model for the inlay's design in the future. At last, it analyses the manufacturing's technology of the inlay technique, compares handicraft with mechanical manufacture, then combines the technology of CAD/CAM to make a simulate example of inlay technique to prove the feasibility of machinery automation and provide the reliable basis of the industrialization production, and entrusts with this research by the certain theory and the idea guiding sense.
