THE MAIN FACTORS OF THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FURNITURE DESIGN

Abstract

The purpose of this article is the definition of factors that influence the development of modern furniture design and trends in its development in the context of the formation of the subject-spatial environment. The methodology of this study is to apply general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparative analysis, field surveys, experimental design, as well as study of cultural heritage for this research problem. The  main  groups  of  factors
influencing  the  formation  and development  of  modern  furniture  design,
which  are:  socio-economic,  ecological, ergonomic,  functional-typological,
technical,  historical-cultural,  aesthetic,  are revealed  and  analyzed.  These  factors  and the  conditions  for  their  change  are distinguished  by  the  various  dynamics  of development  over  time,  as  well  as  by  the different  nature  of  the  influence  on  the formation  of  furniture  design.  Given  the dynamics  and  prospects  of  the  changes,
the peculiarities of factors influence on the development  of  furniture  design  in  the subject-spatial  environment  are highlighted.  This  approach  has  allowed  to determine  the  modern  trends  in  the
development of furniture design. The scientific novelty of the work consists
in  identifying  and  highlighting  the  main factors shaping and developing the design of modern furniture and the characteristics of  their  influence  on  the  shaping  of furniture,  installing  on  the  basis  of  this
basic  trends  in  the  development  of furniture design in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The  practical  significance.  Identified  and
summarized  the  main  factors  in  the formation  of  furniture  and  the  identified trends  in  the  development  of  their  design will  be  useful  for  modern  practice  of designing and producing furniture and will
open up opportunities for further in-dept scientific research in this direction, and can also  be  used  in  lecture  courses  and practical classes on the history and practice of shaping furniture.
