With the rapid development of e-commerce, online shopping has gradually become popular. As a result of the advantages in transportation and packaging, knock-down furniture is gaining a larger share of the furniture market. However, many knock-down pieces of furniture have issues like taking a long time and energy to assemble and disassemble. The main reason for this is that users cannot perceive the usability of disassembly and assembly functions in this type of furniture. This study aims to tap the mortise-and-tenon structure’s high potential for forming functional forms based on affordance, which can help visualize and simplify the actions of disassembly and assembly. It adopted literature review and case analysis methods. The authors began by reviewing relevant literature to analyze the relationship between affordance and functional form to determine the necessary condition for improving the usability of product functions——the functional form that can express to users the affordances between products and them while reducing operational complexity. The authors then went to Taobao.com and chose a representative and simple knock-down shoe cabinet. The authors objectively established the importance of studying the functional form of knock-down furniture from the perspective of affordance by sorting out pertinent comments provided by users on the Internet following disassembly and assembly. Following that, the authors examined in detail some excellent cases of modern knock-down furniture with improved mortise-and-tenon joints as structure, based on the standards of clearly indicating the relevant affordances and simplifying the corresponding disassembly and assembly actions, demonstrating the great potential of the mortise-and-tenon joints to form functional forms. Finally, the authors presented design ideas for applying improved mortise-and-tenon joints to modern knock-down furniture from the standpoint of affordance, with the construction of functional forms as the design goal. It is hoped that this paper could help broaden the research ideas on improving the usability of knock-down furniture
Abstract
With the rapid development of e-commerce, online shopping has gradually become popular. As a result of the advantages in transportation and packaging, knock-down furniture is gaining a larger share of the furniture market. However, many knock-down pieces of furniture have issues like taking a long time and energy to assemble and disassemble. The main reason for this is that users cannot perceive the usability of disassembly and assembly functions in this type of furniture. This study aims to tap the mortise-and-tenon structure’s high potential for forming functional forms based on affordance, which can help visualize and simplify the actions of disassembly and assembly. It adopted literature review and case analysis methods. The authors began by reviewing relevant literature to analyze the relationship between affordance and functional form to determine the necessary condition for improving the usability of product functions——the functional form that can express to users the affordances between products and them while reducing operational complexity. The authors then went to Taobao.com and chose a representative and simple knock-down shoe cabinet.
