Title
Structural features of Hangul furniture design utilizing the grid system
강화영 Kang Hwa-young
Abstract
The furniture is the structure reflecting the culture and the lifestyle in each era and it is closely related to the style of architecture. Architects of Modernism who newly discovered the structural roles from the rational, structural and functional perspectives have established the new architectural order through the geometric flow space caused by the horizontal and vertical structure and a variety of structures. Le Corbusier claimed that the area of architecture should embrace the wider world including all details of furniture and he enabled the structural system containing the visual configuration power by applying the grid complying with the geometric principle to the design. The structural system of square grid by these geometric principles organizes the background of Hangul which has unique shapes ignoring the standardization and makes a rule of Hangul characters. Thus, it could produce the effective types. Since the work of this study makes Hangul furniture by applying consonants and vowels of Hangul which have the geometrical formativeness to the square grid system, we found the consistency with structural features appearing in the furniture of modernism through Hangul`s unique functional and formative properties such as characteristics of the border region, complex characteristics caused by functions and characteristics of delivery of meaning by the vision. It showed the possibility of development as Korean design, since the uniform furniture can enter the space and create new space structure through various structural changes as an element of design by applying visual characteristics of Hangul utilizing the square grid system to the manufacture of modern furniture. Through this study, we can recognize the limitless potential of Hangul design and strive to contribute to the future industry society together with steady development of Hangul.
