이태경 Lee Tai-kyoung , 최진경 Choi Jin-gyeong
Abstract
An emotional society is one where the emotional values of members of the society are considered important and a field of self-realization through which the differentiated values of each can be achieved. Members of an emotional society consume `stories for themselves` based on amusing emotional values in their everyday lives to create `their own value and meaning in life`. Emotional social people who have mental stress caused by social activities regardless of their own intent require physical labor for therapy. A body and mind tired of mental labor can be treated through physical labor. Therefore, this study aims to speculate on the values of a happy experience in everyday life that emotional social beings pursue through DIY and in a DIY furniture experience. To look at the achievements of self-efficacy through diverse emotional satisfaction and the self-realization of emotional social beings, this study examined the following: First, as an emotional condition where a DIY furniture experience can be the main trend of a leisure culture in an emotional society and where members can have productive and valuable consumption for themselves. Also the fun, meaning, spontaneity and economy of the program were looked at. For this purpose, the author participated in a DIY experience program with those who had DIY furniture making as a hobby and analysed different cases of the experience. Then, this study analysed the emotional value of the furniture making experience for the subjects. As a result, it was discovered that subjects who participated in the DIY furniture making experience received emotional value such as a sense of production and consumption, belonging and achievement, and self-realization through the program. It is certain that the DIY furniture making experience can satisfy native human needs. In addition, it is a valuable consumptive activity as well as being an intentional and conscious creative activity. The DIY furniture making experience is a place of mental value where we can enjoy the pleasures of creative production.
