The Research On The Formal Design Of Modern American Furniture

This dissertation mainly analyses features of Modern American Chair style, on the basis of pictures, synthesizing the law of constitution, with the whole study of configurations and decorative elements of Modern American Chair, by finishing the forms of shape basic element in space law, exploring the collocation methods with the forms of adorning element and designs, which focuses on etablishing a complete basic theory of the design system of Modern American Chair.The study of Modern American Chair style's constitution, essentially through research methods of analysis and synthesis, assays two aspects of part and component forms. In the first place. By studying with the forms of part and analysing their basis and constitution, the result indicates that the forms of Modern American Chair style's part play supporting roles.in the integral shape, and the composition lows comprised in shapes have effects on visual guide of the chair's functions.
