Abstract
Taiwan has an abundance of the environmentally-friendly resource bamboo, as well as long-standing Chinese bamboo customs and culture. As a result, modest bamboo furniture accompanies the simple life of Taiwan’s residents. However, as people prosper, consumers are beginning to choose bamboo furniture for its decorative design and style more than for its practicality. Therefore, the symbolic application of decorative art is worthy of research and discussion. The purpose of this research is to use codes to explore the decorative design of bamboo tube furniture and enlighten Taiwan’s new direction of bamboo furniture design in the future. Through literature content analysis, field expert interviews, and practical experience participation methods, in addition to using function codes, emotion codes, transmission codes, and identification codes to interpret the Han Dynasty’s Liushu and Chinese bamboo cultural content, we verify the relevance of the code and bamboo furniture decoration and provide interactive new thinking and creative products.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 15 is called “Life on Land” [1].Bamboo has become a green material because of its rapid growth, non-toxicity, and recyclability
The purpose of this research was to explore the decorative design of bamboo furniture with codes, apply the functions of codes, interpret the rich content of bamboo culture, understand the needs of the environment, provide and guide the new direction of bamboo furniture decoration design, and develop new bamboo-made products in Taiwan
With more than 20 years of experience in bamboo handicrafts, we used functional codes, emotional codes, communicational codes, and human identification codes as tools, and the code combination of “shape” and “meaning” in the “Liushu” as resources, in order to apply them to the decorative design of bamboo tube furniture
Summary
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 15 is called “Life on Land” [1].Bamboo has become a green material because of its rapid growth, non-toxicity, and recyclability. As countries in the world attach increasing importance to environmental awareness and the use of environmentally friendly materials in the 21st century, adopting bamboo material has gradually become mainstream in today’s furniture design [3,4]. This has been studied by some well-known architects and scholars, for example: Ghavami K. in his “Purpose of Research”, applies physical, mechanical, and structural characteristics to help bamboo professionals to conveniently use bamboo as a structural element to select the required size, such as diameter, thickness and internode distance, various stress and mechanical properties [5]; Sonpal B.
