| This paper investigated and analyzed the Korean characteristics expressed in furniture design. Three works created in 2008 among author`s works were selected as the subjects. Those works started with the purpose to express the Korean characteristics from the stage to establish the concepts. For designing the furniture which was differentiated from that in the advanced countries in terms of design and satisfied the emotion and environment of Korea, the basic question "what furniture means for the Korean?" should be investigated and deliberated at first. In that process, we should identify the Korean value existing in our emotion and life and develop it to the modern design. However, it was not easy to identify and interpret the characteristics of Korean design and apply them to the modern works in the process of creating the works. It`s because that the concept of `Korean characteristics` was obscure and vague for the author.
As the methodology, the preliminary research was the investigation and analysis on the Korean characteristics expressed on designs in Korea and the terminology on Korean characteristics. The Korean characteristics were identified from the traditional space with focus on the mental values expressed by traditional space as well as forms in Korean traditional space, spatial structure and relationship with the surrounding environment. On the basis of the Korean characteristics identified, the works were created using three concepts; beauty which is not excessively refined, variable structure, and furniture which creates space. This paper is the thesis on the works so that it presented the creative process of works and final products after establishing the concepts and then summarized the theories on Korean characteristics observed in furniture design. |
