Multi-Function Furniture Design Based On Modularization

With the rapid development of economy and improvement of people’s living standard, the furniture plays a more and more important role in people’s daily life.Throughout the furniture market, multi-functional furniture is most favored by consumers.However, in the era of personalization, the largest consumer groups,the younger age group in the furniture market, they asked new requirement that hope the furniture can change styles according to the size of the living space, style or mood.Most of multi-functional furniture gather multi-function in integral whole, and it is rarely that the furniture can change style whenever necessary, modular furniture is the most effective method to realize the idea.Therefore, this paper aims to integrate the modular design method into the multi-functional furniture design and create a series of modular multi-functional furniture.This paper about the modular multi-functional furniture design is based on the theory of multi-functional furniture and the demand of the market development and consumers.Through the primary analysis of domestic and foreign functional furniture and modular furniture,the development of domestic and international furniture market was understood, the feasibility of prepare the modular multi-functional furniture is clear. Then the concepts as well as the characteristics and expression forms of multi-function furniture were stated, the application of multi-functional furniture in reality and the application of modular design method in the product were analyzed, the relationship between modular and multi-functional was summarized, that is modular achieves the superimposition of function and realize the shift of function,which further verified that modular design method can simplify the design and extend the function of furniture.Based on the above theory,the multi-functional furniture market research was made and consumer demand was analyzed, then the related data was counted and the deficiencies of the current market of multi-functional living room furniture was summarized. The product positioning was made from the aspect of shape, color, material, structure, style etc.The shape is flexible, changeable, simple and small bearing certain cultural connotation. The color is white and light. The structure is fittings with removable. It is primarily made of wood and metal, complimented by plastic material. The style is the simple Nordic one. The price is in the midrange. Finally the author will accomplish specific product design, then design the modular multi-function living room furniture that can meet the demand of consumers, andt made it into the model.That has a further understanding about the modular design through this design, it is a certain reference significance for the future development of modular multi-function furniture.
