The Research Of Portable Furniture Design

Portable products arise at the historic moment which is according to the people on the demand for new way of life and working way, people pay more and more attention to the portable characteristics required by furniture in daily life. And with the improvement of factors such as consumer cognition, technology level or the market price and so on, portable furniture market has presented great vitality with its application will be applied more and more extensive.In this paper, the purpose is to make advantages of portable furniture more apparent and have a stronger market competitiveness in the furniture market with understanding the design principle and the scientific design method of portable furniture. In order to make the research more scientific and objective, this paper firstly uses the comparative analysis method to overview the portable furniture, summarize and distinguish differences between portable furniture and ordinary furniture, expounds the definition of a portable furniture and laid the foundation for further research on portable furniture design, make the goal more clear, as well as content more specific. Secondly uses the literature method to sum up the design method of portable furniture with combining design principles, design procedure and design elements of furniture.Then summarizes the design requirements of portable furniture with using inductive deductive method,starting from the form of portable furniture with examples of existing portable, make knowledge ascend to the height of the rationalization. Finally, through the design practice, this theory make portable furniture design principles more clearly, and easily to understand and provide reliable basis for design innovationIt come to the conclusion that in addition to the small lightweight furniture, the portable furniture also can be the form of folding, inflatable, dismounting combination or the combining of folding, combination, wheeled,etc. The structural design should accord with ergonomics in order to achieve the basic function of furniture, the choosing of material should be combined with the design form, and select the appropriate materials for collocation. In terms of exterior design, we can use modern minimalist design, meanwhile we also can extract characteristics and main elements of other style to enrich the cultural connotation of portable furniture Based on the research up of the portable furniture design above, this paper summarizes and induces the main points of the portable furniture design, provides guide design train of thought of the portable furniture production and new inspiration for the modern furniture design. Complement the furniture market vacancies and meet the needs of these furniture characteristics.
