The Research On Application Of Semantic Forms In Furniture Style Design

Semantic form innately has the ability of development of new forms. Application of Semantic form in furniture form design can raise the level of furniture design and rich furniture design theory. This paper discusses the application of semantic forms in furniture design and analysis syntax, context, rhetoric of semantic forms in furniture.This paper analyses semantics of furniture forms from function, decoration, color, market and emotion by comparison and analysis. Furniture function forms contain physical function and mental function. Semantics of Physical function express from technical features, functionality and environmental features. Mental function express from aesthetic function, symbolic function and the education. Semantic of decoration forms express from color and material. It has Culture, hierarchy and functional. Semantic of color forms include visual perception and function. These semantics express that color affect subdivision of furniture function and communicate furniture content. Semantic of market forms contains epidemic, adapting to psychological needs of consumers, brand products. Form each type of market semantic has its own reason. Grasping these reasons is starting point of furniture design. Semantic of emotion forms reflect from forms and material.This paper also analyses syntax of furniture form. Furniture form has diverse structure. Different structure produces different semantics of perception about three-dimensional space. Motion perception of furniture constitution makes furniture pursuit of dynamic beauty. Furniture has a life of meaning in form, the form of semantic perception of life necessarily constitute a form of expression.Meanwhile, the paper analyses context of semantic forms by studying on relative semantic of furniture form. Semantic rhetoric of furniture forms is to improve the expressiveness of form. Semantic sub-patterns depicting the rhetoric and structural rhetoric. Bionics and symbol are commonly rhetorical devices in furniture form.
