Abstract
As an important part of modern furniture, panel furniture already has a large number of consumers and good long-term prospects. Panel furniture is also an important product type in the modern forestry products supply chain. Therefore, scientific qualitative and quantitative evaluation on the design of panel furniture is of great significance. This article focuses on the research of the establishment of an evaluation system at the design stage of panel furniture, according to the concept and feature requirements of panel furniture. The article also establishes a design evaluation system combining Kansei engineering and analytic hierarchy process methods. Additionally, this article will discuss in detail the authors’ methodological approach on the procedures used, statistical methods, and evaluation model of panel furniture design.
Highlights
Panel furniture is a type of combined furniture made of various wood-based panels connected by hardware
It has become an important part of modern furniture with the developments and direction of the furniture industry nowadays, adjusting to the growing demand and supply of wood materials.[1,2]
A design evaluation model combining the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Kansei engineering is introduced for the design evaluation of panel furniture at the design stage
Summary
Panel furniture is a type of combined furniture made of various wood-based panels connected by hardware. It has become an important part of modern furniture with the developments and direction of the furniture industry nowadays, adjusting to the growing demand and supply of wood materials.[1,2] Key features of panel furniture include high resource utilization ratio, high automation, ease of assembly, and being dismantled, as well as high structural performance.[3] These features are seeking panel furniture becoming more popular among consumers. Design evaluation refers to the comparison and assessment on the design problem-solving schemes during the product design.[4] As design thinking modes gradually mature, design evaluation is attracting more and more attention.[5] Currently, there is little research being conducted on the design evaluation of panel furniture. Intense market competition and changeable consumer demands,[6] introducing a scientific design evaluation system and alternative methods at the furniture design stage, can better direct the design and production of panel furniture
