Children are a special group, their psychological, physiological characteristics and the characteristics of ordinary activities are different from adults, therefore, the most basic requirement in the design of children’s furniture is to ensure the safety performance of children when using furniture. The safety features mentioned here include the robustness and environmental friendliness of children’s furniture. According to a survey conducted by the Huangpu District of Shanghai, 73% of Chinese families have homes. The furniture used in the courtyard is all adult furniture, and 25% of households partially use adult furniture, so only 2% of households use children’s furniture. It can be seen that there is still a lot of room for development in the use of children’s furniture in China, children are growing individuals, children’s furniture should also meet the use function of children of different ages, in the design of furniture for children to consider the long-term usability of furniture, then another requirement in the design is to reflect the adjustability and usability, as children continue to grow up then the furniture used will grow up with the children, in the design of children’s furniture to pay attention to the rationality of the structure, to make the design of children’s furniture both in size and specifications can be constantly adjusted。
In the use of color can consider the high brightness of cyan, with appropriate contrast to improve children’s attention, the use of different colors can stimulate children’s visual nerves to varying degrees, this stimulation can develop children’s brains, have a guiding role in children, inspire children’s creative ability.
Modern people’s way of life are the pursuit of health and environmental protection, so as children’s furniture design this piece to design, production and economic interests to establish under this new principle, and constantly improve the taste and value of children’s furniture, of course, the value we talked about is not only the embodiment of the use value, but also includes ornamental and cultural value, which is the green concept of furniture design proposed in the existing environment. In order to meet the requirements of environmental protection, the design of children’s furniture has also entered the stage of environmental protection and green design, also known as the ecological design stage, its central point is to protect the existing ecological environment, save China’s natural resources, and take green environmental protection as the top priority of home design, and minimize the negative environmental factors that can be generated in the design. In the selection of materials for children’s furniture design, it is necessary to avoid noble and gorgeous materials, and the materials selected must be safe, practical and economical.
Children’s way of thinking is imaginative, this kind of jumping way of thinking leads to children’s psychology is sensitive, and children have to go through various sensitive periods in the process of growing up, from immaturity to slow maturity. During this time, children’s plasticity is great, and external factors will also have a great impact on children. According to the characteristics of these children, designers should have a basis when designing children’s furniture, so as to design better children’s furniture that meets the uniqueness of children.
Therefore, the design of children’s furniture should start from the psychology of children, design products with heart, meet ecological standards, green standards, do not be blinded by interests, continue to innovate, and have the courage to challenge high-end products, then China’s children’s furniture market will have a good future.
