First, measured data and information will be obtained through study materials in the museum, library, computer and investigation, as the foundation of design ideas. Second, analyze the application of data and the feasibility to put forward transformed application method and the principles of designing folk-art chair, include design practice. The original work in this article includes "clothes" chair, "stone fish" chair, "acry" chair and "element" chair.
