| Abstract |
| In developing dining home fashion, research on consumers` usage and design preference provides important guidelines for the development of consumer-centric product designs and the future directions of product development. This study is to examine consumers` usage of dining home fashion and design preference in order to provide basic data for product development of dining home fashion. To this end, a survey was conducted by a questionnaire about the usage and design preference of dining home fashion, and participated by 417 women aged 25 to 59.
As for their use of tables, more respondents said that they use glass or a dining table as it is, than dining home fashion, like table cloth, top cloth or table runners. Older respondents tended to use dining home fashion more frequently and have more items than younger people. Reasons that people do not use dining home fashion are, in the order of, 1) little needs for them, 2) difficulty in cleaning and maintenance, 3) no match with home interior design and 4) expensive prices. As for key considerations when purchasing dining home fashion, there was little difference between age groups, but younger people tended to put less value on brands and trends than older groups did. As for design preference, natural textile and cotton-blended textile were most preferred, and water-proof materials were highly preferred for aprons, table cloth, personal placemats and pot stands. |
