Research on Applying Design Elements of The Traditional Ming Dynasty Fauteuil to Chinese-Style Chairs

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Taishi chair represents the pinnacle of Chinese furniture design, recognized worldwide and influencing furniture styles across multiple countries. However, due to shifts in societal, temporal, and ideological factors, China has introduced the concept of "Chinese-style furniture" to meet contemporary lifestyle demand. Despite over two decades of development, Chinese-style furniture has yet to achieve significant global influence, largely because it fails to fully embody China’s cultural heritage. While prior research has explored integrating Taishi chair elements into furniture, no systematic methodology exists for combining these elements with Chinese-style chairs. This study addresses this gap through the following approach: First, it analyzes and categorizes Taishi chair design elements to identify their distinctive features. Second, it examines design shortcomings in existing Chinese-style chairs through market research. Third, it extracts and adapts traditional Taishi chair motifs. Finally, it develops four Chinese-style chair designs inspired by the themes of mountain, water, cloud, and moon, evaluating their feasibility through consumer purchase intent surveys.
