本研究以人類的「文化」作為創作基礎。因為以前的家具設計,還停留在單純物質功能的階段,且在使用上只達到基本功能需求,並且缺乏人與物的文化延伸需求。 本論文先經文獻探討,了解何謂文化,並探討文化與產品設計之間關係,最後以家具設計做創作。而創作作品設計上,將運用文化來發展家具設計的多樣可能性。而創作目的在於利用文化的元素設計運用到家具設計上,讓傢俱不只是表面上形式的意義,更有深層文化層次意涵在內。本創作最終共發展四項創作作品,藉由3D圖像作為最終呈現。最後結果發展出家具應用文化概念的設計模式,文化詮釋方法運用不同的手法來詮釋文化,從文化的造型直接轉換(形而下),透過生活上的習慣作轉換(形而中),或無形的觀念思想的認知(形而上)等方式來進行文化家具的詮釋。
This research is to demonstrate “the culture” of human beings as the foundation of creation. It is because the furniture design substantially used to exist merely as a single object to satisfy the basic functional needs of ours. The old furniture design was also lacking of essence of human cultures. This essay will discuss first on the topic of “what is culture?” through exploring reference papers, then further down on the relation between the culture and the product design, finally the creation on furniture design. In terms of creative product design, the concept of culture is to be used to develop various possibility in furniture design. The purpose of creation is to utilize the designing factors of “culture”, then to put it on furniture design to make the meaning of furniture's not only to have value in forms but also to have deeper cultural meaning in it. In the end of this creative thesis, four creation works will be completed by means of 3D image presentation. The final outcome could develops the design pattern of the applied furniture culture concept. The way of interpreting the cultural is using various methods as: through the direct transformation from culture form (below the physic), the transformation from personal daily customs (in the physic), or finally the invisible concept of cognition (metaphysical).
