Office furniture design is a design activity, so it must follow general design principles. "Practical, economical and beautiful. It is a general criterion suitable for all designs. Office furniture design is a design that is different from other design types (such as architectural design, visual communication design). Therefore, the principles of office furniture design have their own Particularity. In summary, the main points are as follows:
Guide the design of human-machine interface, scale, comfort and pleasantness according to the requirements of ergonomics to avoid fatigue, tension, anxiety, accidents caused by improper design, and various damages to the human body.
Starting from the design theory. Designed according to certain design concepts and design ideas, reflecting the social and cultural nature of design.
Design according to various artistic design methods (such as the principle of morphological composition, the principle of formal beauty, the principle of semiotics, etc.), the systematic method, and the principle of commodity science.
Office furniture complies with the requirements of mechanics, mechanical principles, materials science, and technology to guide the design of structure, motion, shape and size of parts, and processing of parts. Avoid unreasonable design.
Various contradictions in the design process of office furniture are inevitable, such as the contradiction between function and form "such as the contradiction between the cross-sectional result of the part calculated by the strength calculation and the visual strength effect of the size), technology and Artistic contradictions (such as sand makes designers hateful. The abandoned form does not have existing and potential manufacturing technology), the contradiction between the enterprise and the society "such as the demand for precious tree species and social ecological protection of Hongmujia and its manufacturers Contradictions), product design and product marketing (such as the difference between design strategies and marketing strategies), the contradiction between design ideals and the market (such as the aesthetic difference between designers and customers), etc. It is necessary for furniture designers to judge according to their own That is to use the principle of dialectical thinking to guide furniture design. Correctly handle many issues such as art, technology, function, modeling, materials, crafts, physics, psychology, market, ring slope, price wave, benefit and so on.
Correctly deal with issues such as the diversification of market demand, the level of human needs, changes in lifestyle, and the progress of consumer concepts. Develop marketable products separately.
On the basis of this principle, office furniture believes: "There is no best design, only the most suitable design." For example: some simple but suitable for mass production, monotonous shape but with high practical value, materials are common but have Products with lower cost and poor durability but suitable for temporary use needs. Use the general principles of design to balance furniture such as A. It is indeed not a good design and a good product. But considering some specific groups (such as low income Population) and specific markets (such as relatively poor rural markets). The evaluation of the design may be a different matter.
The core of office furniture design is creation. The process of design is the process of creation. In the design, we should oppose plagiarism and the infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, and we must promote product innovation and personality development.
According to the principles of marketing. Innovative products may face greater risks in the process of their creation, and even have to bear social responsibilities that should not be independently undertaken by an enterprise, but we also need to see: At the same time, there are often huge business opportunities and huge good social effects.
Office furniture aesthetics have the characteristics of popular aesthetics, and fashion has become the main aspect of furniture aesthetics. The design should show the characteristics of the times, meet the fashion, and keep pace with the times to adapt to changes in the market.
To realize the sustainable development of the industry under the premise of sustainable use of resources, furniture design must consider reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy, considering the life cycle of the product, considering the recycling of product waste, and considering the production, use and disposal Environmental impact and other issues to achieve sustainable development of the industry. Furniture products are closely related to people's lives. Designing on the basis of this principle can ensure that the furniture industry will always stand on the status of "Chaoyang Industry".
Although the final result reflected in the design of office furniture is furniture products, the problems involved in the design process are many. Therefore, designers must treat design with a systematic and holistic view.
