Abstract

Background As the development of the industrial society made the air pollution to be on the rise as a serious environment problem issue, the modern interior design of buildings has been arranged to the form of an airtight space. Therefore, the necessity of an air purifier has been highly demanded by a lot of environmental troubles from the fine dust. Before 2000s, the air purifier was regarded as a luxury item, however, after 2000, as the concept of well-being, which pursues a better healthy life for humans, has spread broadly, the recognition of the concept of the air purifier has been converted to a daily necessity, thus the demand of it has been increased in households. For that reason, in this research paper, it is aimed at developing an indoor air purifier for household use, which would be suitably matched with the current indoor space in accordance with the improvement on the quality of the modern interior. Methods In a brief view, it is established to set the aim, the method and the range of the research, moreover the investigation of the theoretical consideration for an air purifier, the internal and external market condition and the design classification were conducted. To figure out the recognition of the consumer, SD sensibility test and a step method for a value were conducted for the design analysis. The tests were subject to thirteen volunteers of both men and women. They were subject to six sections such as the form, the material, the color etc. and experimented on the comparison analysis with the seven steps SD Method(Semantic Difference Method) which were based on fifteen adjective words pairs related to formativeness, aesthetic and functionality. Result As a consequence, for the section of the form in questionnaire, words of angulated, linear and normal were positively evaluated. For the material section, words of flexible and vulnerable were negatively evaluated and for the color section, words of matt, dark, dull and cool were positively evaluated. In addition, a step method for value selected fifteen relevant categories for the questionnaire in order to figure out the consumer's specific mental state and recognition. The response of each category consisted of two groups: one group was made of single questions, which is for the elementary tendency of respondents, and the other group was composed of plural questions, which is for a variety of responses, so that it was possible to figure out the recognition of the volunteers. For the result, in the section of the form, the indicator of safety and balance was represented high. In the material section, the perception of both partial connection and entirety was strongly represented. In the color section, the coloration of a body, a button and an outlet represented the high degree. In addition, the fresh and dark colors were preferred on the whole. Conclusion As for the contents concluded by the satisfaction factor for the design, since the stabilized forms and warm color tone which corresponds to the pure images are preferred for the air purifier design, it is possible that such factors would be recognized as significant design aspects for it later. In conclusion, the contents of evaluation analyzed by this research would be applied to the assessment items for the subsequent designed products. Additionally, based on the contents satisfying the design aspects, those analyzed contents would develop into the fundamental databases for designing the air purifier in the actual design process.
