다기능 가구는 형태가 유연하고 공간을 절약할 수 있어 일상생활에서 비중이 꾸준히 늘고 있다. 하지만 미니멀리즘 디자인((minimalist design) 트렌드에 맞추기 위해 다기능 가구의 조형(modeling)에 담겨야 할 다양한 정보가 항상 무시되고 있다. 이 때문에 사용자들이 ‘심플한(simple)’ 조형에 직면할 경우 인식 마찰로 인해 사용상의 ...문제가 생길 수 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 사용자가 다기능 가구의 유용성(usefulness)과 편리함(usability)을 더 쉽게 감지할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 저자들은 다기능 가구의 조형에 대해 어포던스(affordance)와 기표(signifier)의 관점에서 연구를 진행했다. 이 연구는 문헌 검토와 사례 분석을 서로 결합하는 방법을 응용하였다. 저자들은 우선 관련 문헌을 통해 기표와 어포던스 관계를 정리했다. 그런 다음, 이들은 다기능 가구의 사례별로 조형의 세 가지 핵심 요소(모양·색·재료)가 기능 전환 과정에서 어포던스를 지정하는 정보를 전달하는 지표의 역할을 분석했다. 마지막으로, 그들은 다기능 가구의 조형이 해당 어포던스를 명확하게 전달하는 풍부한 정보로 기표를 형성할 수 있다는 것을 발견했는데, 이는 사용자가 가구와 자연스러운 상호작용을 형성하도록 안내하는 데 도움이 된다. 또한, 그들은 다기능 가구 조형을 위해 다음과 같은 설계 단계를 제시했다. 1 단계: 다기능 가구의 기능은 대상 이용자(target user)의 요구에 근거하여 명확히 해야 하며, 사용자가 다른 기능 간에 전환하기 위해 수행해야 하는 동작도 결정해야 한다. 이 단계는 유용성을 실현하는 관건이다. 2 단계: 다기능 가구의 조형은 모양과 색상, 소재의 조합을 통해 구성하고 기능성(functionality)과 동작 가능성(action possibilities), 그에 맞는 동작의 조작 위치 등을 충분히 전달해야 한다. 이 단계가 사용 편의성을 실현하는 관건이다. 그러나 이 두 단계는 향후 연구에서 아직 더 심화돼야 한다.
As multifunctional furniture has flexible forms and could save space, its proportion in daily life is constantly increasing. However, in order to cater to the minimalist design trend, the rich information that the modeling of multifunctional furniture should contain is always ignored, which causes users to have a series of usage problems because of cognitive friction when facing “simple” styling. In order to allow the usefulness and usability of multifunctional furniture to be easily perceived by users, the authors conducted a relevant study on the modeling of multifunctional furniture from the perspective of signifier and affordance. The research method of this study is a combination of literature review and case analysis. The authors first sorted out the relationship between signifier and affordance in industrial design through related literature. Then, the authors combined different cases of multifunctional furniture, to analyze the role of the three core elements(shape, color and material) of the modeling as signifiers that carry information specifying affordances during the functional transformation. Finally, the authors found that the modeling of multifunctional furniture can form signifiers with rich information that clearly conveys the corresponding affordances, which is helpful to guide users to form natural interactions with multifunctional furniture. And the authors also put forward the following design steps for multifunctional furniture modeling. Step 1: the functions of multifunctional furniture should be clarified based on the needs of target users, and the actions that users need to perform to switch between different functions should also be determined. The first step is the key to realizing usefulness. Step 2: the modeling of multifunctional furniture should be constructed through different combinations of shapes, colors and materials, which should fully convey the information of the functionality, action possibilities and the operating positions of the corresponding actions. The second step is the key to realizing ease of use. However, these two steps still need to be further deepened in future studies.
In today's high-tech development society, design is a kind of life, which changes life and is also changed by life. The unique perspective of Chinese furniture images shows the cultural precipitation ...of Chinese people in its own way. This paper divides multifunctional furniture into cell combination type and folding structure type. Based on the theory of folding structure, the multifunctional furniture with folding structure is deeply studied. This paper expounds the physical and emotional characteristics of materials in furniture design from the perspective of perception, expounds the graphic design method of folding multifunctional furniture, and at the same time makes an experimental study on the process of transforming intention cognition into practical application, and obtains the image average value and key parameters of material emotion contrast, so as to promote the application of material emotion in furniture design.

EN The purpose of this project is the design and development of some modular multifunctional furniture for domestic use. Main objectives are flexibility and economy. "Modulation" will be the strategy ...to achieve them because it allows multiple combinations of forms, increasing possible uses and users, simplifying and cheapening production. Different modules will be designed and the user will can combine them in order to create their own bookshelf or coffee table. In addition, they can be also used individually as a side table or pouf. The product will work either to hold not very heavy objects such as photo frames, CDs, magazines and decorative elements of reduced dimensions, or as a seat or a coffee table. This product is equally valid for main or secondary homes, because its versatility allows its location in different home rooms although most common could be living, studies or bedrooms. We are looking for a product that takes advantage of space, suitable for small homes, but without ruling out medium and large ones. In reference to its style, it is mainly oriented to urban, modern and minimalist spaces because modules are inspired in geometric shapes and straight lines. The target audience for this product is people whose user profile is: adults, with average purchasing power, who want to take advantage of the space and want to use the same product for multiple functions according to their needs. In addition, these people should be creative and innovative because they will have to create their own compositions to meet their own needs or adapt to available space.
ES El objeto de proyecto es el diseño y desarrollo de un mueble multifuncional modular para uso doméstico. Como principales objetivos se pretende conseguir un producto flexible y económico. Para ello se recurrirá a la «modulación» como estrategia ya que permite múltiples combinaciones de formas, incrementando el catálogo de posibles usos y usuarios, simplificando y abaratando la producción. En consecuencia, se diseñarán diferentes módulos con la finalidad de que el usuario pueda combinarlos a su gusto y crear así su propia estantería o mesa centro, en función de sus necesidades. Además, podrán ser utilizados también individualmente como mesa auxiliar o pouf. Por tanto, el producto podrá funcionar como contenedor de objetos no muy pesados tales como marcos de fotos, cds, revistas y elementos de decoración de dimensiones reducidas; como asiento; o, también como mesa auxiliar. Este producto podrá utilizarse indistintamente tanto en viviendas principales como secundarias ya que su versatilidad permite su ubicación en distintos espacios domésticos, con preferencia en salones, estudios y dormitorios. Al tratarse de un producto pensado para aprovechar el espacio, es adecuado para viviendas pequeñas, pero sin descartar las medianas y las grandes. En referencia a su estilo, está más orientado a un espacio urbano, moderno y minimalista ya que la morfología de los módulos es eminentemente geométrica, a partir de líneas rectas y superficies planas. En cuanto al público objetivo de este producto se ha definido como perfil de usuario: adultos, con nivel adquisitivo medio, que deseen aprovechar bien el espacio y busquen productos que satisfagan múltiples funciones, según sus necesidades momentáneas. Además, han de ser personas creativas e innovadoras ya que será el propio usuario quien cree su propia composición, combinando los distintos módulos que se ofrecen para adaptarlo a sus necesidades o al espacio disponible.
