office furniture is composed of function, material, structure, appearance four kinds of factors, these four factors are interrelated and mutual restraint, to promote the development of furniture. Here we describe the relationship between the four main elements of the content and interaction.
(1)
any furniture for a certain purpose and design. This function is the center link consists of office furniture, office furniture is the dominant factor, is the existence and development of the. In office furniture design, first from the functional point of view, the collection office furniture user information, collect relevant information office furniture rotating environment, in order to determine the furniture material, structure and appearance.
generally the office furniture product function can be divided into four aspects, namely, function, economic function, use the function and mental function.

material is the basis of composition of office furniture, from the development process of office furniture, office furniture materials showing the characteristics of diversity, there are: stone, wood, bamboo, rattan, leather, fabric, glass, paint, rubber, man-made board, sponge, rubber, paint. Although the office furniture material is numerous, however in office furniture design, must consider various factors, the material into the purposeful selection. In the process of selection, the following factors are considered:
, material processing, processing of the material directly affects the office furniture production and quality. For the wood, in the process to consider the influence of water and swell shrink, anisotropy, warpage; for medium density particleboard surface treatment and medium density fiber board to consider the brittleness and hardness of the decorative layer, in order to determine the suitable feed speed, prevent explode edge, improve the quality of the edge of plastic materials; to take into account the scalability, thermoplastic deformation; glass to consider its brittleness, hardness and surface quality.
two, the texture of the material and the outside quality, can produce different psychological feelings to the people. Wood is a natural material, natural texture, and easy processing, is the production of office furniture good material. Characteristics of plastics and synthetic materials with natural materials to simulate the texture, and have good color performance, but easy to old aging, easy to deformation, with the production of office furniture, its service life and the limited range of use. Economy of
three, material, economic furniture materials, including the material price, processing labor material consumption, utilization and rich material using the material. Although has the natural wood texture, but with the increased demand for wood, volume decreasing, increasing shortage of resources, and similar wood materials, the economic appearance of the material will be widely used in furniture life.
four, the strength of materials, different materials, the strength of different. Parts of the same material in the office furniture in a different role, requirements on the strength are different, then the size is different. In short, the strength of the material aspect to consider holding nail force, crack resistance and elastic modulus.
five, the surface decoration performance, in general, surface decoration performance refers to the coating on the feasibility, glue, carving, hot, good decoration.
(3) office furniture structure and
structure is composed of the connection between office furniture parts. Users of office furniture to produce physiological and psychological effects. Performance characteristics of parts between the connection depends on the material and accessories, structure based design of human body engineering principle can improve people's work efficiency.
(4)
office furniture is intuitive performance function and the structure of office furniture. Office furniture the appearance of the form attached to the structure, but the appearance form has a larger degree of freedom, the same appearance can adopt different structures, such as the basic structure of the file cabinet office furniture furniture is the same, but the appearance in different poses and with different expressions. Office furniture appearance shape can also be understood as the first feeling furniture modeling to people, has the function of transmitting information, direct play the aesthetic function of office furniture.
