Edit the meaning and characteristics of furniture

Furniture is both a material product and an artistic creation. This is what people often call the dual characteristics of furniture. The type, quantity, function, form, style and production level as well as the occupation situation at that time also reflect the social lifestyle of a country and region in a certain historical period, the level of social material civilization and the historical and cultural characteristics of a certain country. A symbol of the development level of social productivity in a country or region in a certain historical period, it is the epitome of a certain way of life and the manifestation of a certain cultural form. Therefore, furniture embodies rich and profound social characteristics. Today's solid wood furniture is not the original solid wood. It’s furniture, please take a picture. It’s called solid wood furniture, but it’s made of MDF with walnut veneer. It’s not made of pure natural wood. The current classification of furniture is that solid wood furniture is called log furniture, so some people are selling it. Solid wood furniture, if you like logs, you should pay attention. If not, it doesn’t matter.

Foreword

Furniture is composed of four factors: material, structure, appearance and function. Function is the forerunner and the driving force for the development of furniture; structure is the backbone and the basis for realizing functions. These four factors are interconnected and restrict each other. Furniture is designed and produced to meet people's certain material needs and usage purposes, so furniture also has factors in function and appearance. The main content and relationship between these four elements are explained below.

Material

Furniture is made of various materials through a series of technical processes. Materials are the material basis of furniture. Therefore, in addition to the basic requirements of functionality, beauty and craftsmanship, furniture design. , and are also closely related to materials. To this end, designers are required to do the following: (1) Be familiar with the types, properties, specifications and sources of raw materials; (2) Design excellent products based on existing materials. Make the best use of everything; (3) Be good at using various new materials to improve the quality of the product, increase the aesthetics of the product, and reduce the cost of the product. Materials are the material basis of furniture. In the history of furniture development, they have always been used. The materials of furniture can reflect the level of productivity development at that time. In addition to the commonly used wood, metal, and plastic, there are also rattan, bamboo, glass, rubber, fabric, decorative board, leather, sponge, etc. However, not all materials are the same. It can be used in furniture production, and the application of furniture materials also has certain selectivity. The following factors should be taken into consideration. (1) The processing technology of materials directly affects the production of wooden materials. During the process, the shrinkage and expansion, anisotropic fission and porosity caused by the influence of moisture must be taken into consideration. The ductility and thermoplastic deformation of plastic materials must be taken into consideration. Glass materials should consider their thermal brittleness, hardness, etc. (2) Texture and appearance quality. The texture and texture of the material determine the special feel of the product's appearance and quality.

Wood is a natural material with natural and beautiful texture, lifelike image, good hand feel, and is easy to process and color. It is the best material for the production of furniture. Plastics and their synthetic materials have the characteristics of simulating the texture of various natural materials and have good coloring properties. However, they are prone to aging and thermal deformation. When used to produce furniture, their service life and scope of use are limited. (3) Economy. The economics of furniture materials include the price of the material, the labor consumption of processing the material, the utilization rate of the material and the richness of the material source. Although wood has advantages such as natural texture, with the increase in demand, the accumulation of wood continues to decrease and resources become increasingly scarce. Materials that are similar to wood, economical and beautiful will be widely used in the production of furniture. (4) Strength. In terms of strength, its holding power, split resistance and elastic modulus should be considered. (5) Surface decoration performance. Generally speaking, surface decoration performance refers to the feasibility of painting, pasting, engraving, coloring, ironing, and branding. (6) Environmental protection. In addition to considering the many factors mentioned above, there is still another factor that cannot be ignored when it comes to furniture materials, and that is whether furniture materials release dangerous substances to the human body. This is also what more and more consumers are willing to consider first when choosing furniture. . For example, whether modern panels use E1-level or above boards, whether the adhesive evaporates harmful gases, what brand of paint is used, etc., all reflect consumers' concerns about harmful emissions from furniture materials. As the world's log resources are dwindling, it is understandable for humans to consider many other alternatives to logs, but no matter what kind of material it is, environmental protection is always the most popular.

Structure

Structure refers to a certain combination and connection method between the materials and components used in furniture. It is a structural system based on certain functions. It includes the internal structure and external structure of furniture. The internal structure refers to a certain combination of furniture parts, which depends on changes in materials and the development of science and technology. For example, metal furniture, plastic furniture, rattan furniture, wooden furniture, etc. all have their own structural characteristics. In addition, the external structure of furniture is in direct contact with the user. It is a direct reflection of the appearance. Therefore, the scale, proportion and shape must be adapted to the user. This is the so-called ergonomics. For example, the seat surface Chairs with appropriate height, depth, and back angle can relieve people's fatigue; while storage furniture must be suitable for the size of the stored items while making it convenient for users to access items. The external structure designed according to this requirement also lays the foundation for the aesthetic requirements of furniture.

Appearance form

The appearance form of furniture is directly displayed in front of the user. It is an intuitive expression of function and structure. The appearance of furniture depends on its structure, especially its external structure. However, there is no corresponding relationship between appearance form and structure. Different appearance forms can be represented by the same structure. There is a greater degree of freedom in the appearance form, and the combination of space is quite selective. For example, the basic structure of the dressing table is the same, but its appearance form is varied. As an external expression of function, the appearance form of furniture also has a cognitive function. Therefore, it has information transmission and symbolic meaning; it can also exert its aesthetic function, thereby generating a certain emotional atmosphere, forming a certain artistic effect, and giving people a beautiful enjoyment. .

Function

Any piece of furniture is designed and produced for a certain functional purpose. Therefore, function constitutes the central link of furniture, is the forerunner, and is the driving force for the development of furniture. When designing furniture, we should first analyze the design object from a functional perspective to determine the material structure and appearance. Generally speaking, the functions of furniture products can be divided into four aspects, namely technical function, economic function, usability function and aesthetic function.

Edit the classification of furniture in this paragraph

l What types of furniture are there? 1. According to the furniture style, it can be divided into: modern furniture, European classical furniture, American furniture, Chinese classical furniture, and neoclassical furniture. 2. Furniture is divided according to the materials used: solid wood furniture, panel furniture, upholstered furniture, rattan furniture, bamboo furniture, metal furniture, steel and wood furniture, and other material combinations such as glass, marble, ceramics, inorganic minerals, fiber fabrics, and resins. wait. 3. According to functional furniture, it is divided into: office furniture; living room furniture, bedroom furniture, study furniture, children's furniture, kitchen and bathroom furniture (equipment) and auxiliary furniture. 4. According to the grade of furniture products, they can be divided into: high-end, mid-to-high-end, mid-range, mid-to-low-end, and low-end. How to distinguish the grade of products? In fact, it mainly depends on the price. Bedrooms, sofas, and beds can be divided into medium, high, and low grades based on price. For example, suites (5 pieces) range from one or two thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, so we define those with a price below 4,000 yuan as mid- to low-end products, with prices between 4,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan as mid-range products, and prices between 8,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan as mid-range products. Mid-to-high-end products, high-end products priced above RMB 20,000. But it is not static. In fact, there is no specific standard to accurately classify it. It is just that we are familiar with the product, and we will naturally position the product. Another example is the grade positioning of sofas. Those priced below 2,000 yuan are mid- to low-end, 2,000 to 5,000 are mid-range, 5,000 to 10,000 are mid-to-high-end, and those above 10,000 yuan are high-end. Beds priced below 1,000 yuan are mid- to low-end, 1,000 to 4,000 yuan are mid-range, 4,000 to 10,000 are mid- to high-end, and beds above 10,000 yuan are high-end. 5. Product origin division: it can be divided into imported furniture and domestic furniture, that is, international brands and domestic brands. There are many international brands in Shanghai, such as Huanmei Furniture, Nordic Style, Leonardo da Vinci, Fresa, and Fukla. etc. But some international brands are also produced in China. For example, the British brand Chivas sofa is produced in Shenzhen. UNIVERSAL, one of the three major furniture brands in the United States, has its production base in China. At present, the largest furniture production base in China should be Guangdong. Most of the well-known domestic brand furniture are produced in Dongguan, Shunde, Foshan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhongshan and other places. The largest domestic furniture exhibition is held here in March and August every year. , by then, many domestic furniture manufacturers and dealers will gather in Guangdong. But in recent years, Zhejiang's furniture has also risen rapidly, and brands such as Dafengfan, Guosen, and Xiongzu have also occupied a large part of the market.

There are also many well-established brands in Beijing, with Qumei and Peugeot being the most representative. There are some furniture brands in Northeast China, Sichuan, Hebei and Shandong, but their proportion is relatively small. 6. According to the type of furniture structure, furniture is divided into frame furniture, panel furniture, removable furniture, upholstered furniture, etc.
