How much do you know about furniture? Let's talk about it today!

Processing technology. The processing technology of materials directly affects the production of furniture. For wood materials, in the processing process, it is necessary to take into account the shrinkage and expansion, anisotropic fission and porosity caused by the influence of moisture. Plastic materials should take into account their ductility, thermoplastic deformation, etc. Glass materials should take into account its hot brittleness, hardness, etc.

Elements of 1. Furniture

Furniture is composed of four factors: material, structure, appearance and function.

1. Materials

In addition to commonly used wood, metal and plastic, there are rattan, bamboo, glass, rubber, fabric, decorative board, leather, sponge and so on. However, not all materials can be used in furniture production, which should mainly take into account the following factors.

Processing technology. The processing technology of materials directly affects the production of furniture. For wood materials, in the processing process, it is necessary to take into account the shrinkage and expansion, anisotropic fission and porosity caused by the influence of moisture. Plastic materials should take into account their ductility, thermoplastic deformation, etc. Glass materials should take into account its hot brittleness, hardness, etc.

Texture and appearance quality. The texture and texture of the material determines the special feeling of the appearance quality of the product. Wood is a natural material, natural texture, beautiful, realistic image, feel good, and easy to process, coloring, is the production of furniture and other materials. Plastics and their synthetic materials have the characteristics of simulating the texture of various natural materials, and have good coloring properties, but they are easy to age and heat deformation. The use of this to produce furniture has limited service life and scope of use.

2. Structure

Structure refers to a certain combination and connection between the materials and components used in furniture. It is a structural system composed of 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 the change of materials and the development of science and technology. Such as metal furniture, plastic furniture, rattan furniture, wood furniture, etc. have their own structural characteristics. In addition, the external structure of the furniture is in direct contact with the user, which is a direct reflection of the appearance, so the scale, proportion and shape must be adapted to the user. For example, a chair with appropriate seat height, depth and back inclination can relieve people's fatigue; while storage furniture should be adapted to the scale of the stored items on the premise that it is convenient for users to access the items. The external structure designed according to this requirement also lays the foundation for the aesthetic requirements of furniture.

3. Appearance form

The appearance of the furniture is directly displayed in front of the user, it is the intuitive performance of the function and structure. The appearance of furniture depends on its structure, especially the external structure. However, there is no corresponding relationship between appearance form and structure, and different appearance forms can be expressed by the same structure. There is a greater degree of freedom in the form of appearance, and the combination of space is quite selective. For example, the basic structure of the dressing table is the same, but its appearance is diverse. The appearance of furniture as the external performance of the function, but also has the function of understanding, therefore, has the information to convey and symbolic meaning; but also play its aesthetic function, resulting in a certain emotional atmosphere, the formation of a certain artistic effect, giving people the enjoyment of beauty.

4. Function

Any piece of furniture is designed for a certain functional purpose. Therefore, the function constitutes the central link of furniture, is the forerunner, is the driving force to promote the development of furniture. In the design of furniture, we should first analyze the design object from the point of view of function, so as to determine the material structure and appearance form.

Classification of 2. furniture

What types of furniture are there?

1, according to the style of furniture can be divided into: modern furniture, European classical furniture, American furniture, Chinese classical furniture (mahogany furniture), there are more popular in the past two years, the new classical series of furniture and so on.

2. According to the materials used, the furniture is divided into: solid wood furniture, panel furniture, soft furniture, rattan furniture, bamboo furniture, steel wood furniture

And other artificial wood materials made of furniture (such as glass furniture, marble furniture, etc.).

3, according to the furniture function can be divided into: living room furniture, bedroom furniture, study furniture, kitchen furniture (equipment) and auxiliary furniture and other categories.
