| Summary: | 碩士 === 大同大學 === 工業設計研究所 === 88 === Furniture is a very basic requirement in modern living, so a gamut of furniture designs and product variety has emerged to dazzle the eyes of beholders. Among the wide variety of furniture products, the most popular is cabinet. It is a basic necessity in living and best suited for modular systems. Its basic function is storage space; hence there are different types of cabinets for different types of objects and different types of combinations or varieties are developed to cater to different space requirements; e.g. the campaign chest, the dining ware cabinet, bookshelves, closets, etc. Cabinet parts (e.g. cabinet body, door, dividers, drawers, hardware, etc.) may be put together or adjusted to form a unit. Unlike the simple table of chair, cabinets are used to meet different types of functions; hence they may be extended and adjusted, or used as a part of a system module. This paper studies the modular cabinet system in an attempt to understand the applications of furniture design module systems.
System furniture is a newly innovated furniture product. It revolutionized the traditional furniture design and utilization concepts. Influence coming from foreign system furniture designs made the domestic furniture industry develop towards systemized product planning. Unfortunately efforts lack clear-cut design parameters, thus system furniture products cannot be completed. Compared to the products of other nations, local products pale in comparison both in terms of design or quality. Hence, this paper conducts a case study on the principal item in the system furniture — the cabinet. It is hoped that this systematic research may achieve a complete set of design parameters. It is also hoped that findings may set the direction for future systemic product research of the domestic furniture industry, as well as lay the standards for product upgrade.
The modular system units relevant to the definitions and scope of the study subject are taken into consideration. The study also created a computer modular design and complete drawing system. Operating interface applicability simulation test was conducted using the existing image database; simulation requirements consisted of operating procedure options. Finally, a simulation on real space application was conducted through the computer interface image processing for an actual matching test between products and space. It is believed that this operating interface simulation study may be used in real furniture designing, interior decorating, architectural designing and related work interface applications.
The subjects of this product study are the consumers and designers of system cabinets. Professional product makers provided findings of product researches conducted, it was found that the research procedure and factors were quite unfamiliar to lay people, hence study barely included them into consideration. The subject of this research is the modular cabinet system, a full-faceted case study is conducted to make the product research process transparent. It is hoped that findings shall serve as reference for future product research and design application studies.
