适老家具功能情感化研究

Research on the Emotionalization of the Function of the Furniture for Elderly

功能是产品的灵魂,一件产品若是没有合理的功能,那就是失败的。情感化设计是当今产品设计的准则,适老家具作为辅助老年人生活的家具,必定是要符合老年人的情感需求的。适老家具的功能应该符合老年人的需求,满足老年人的情感需要,所谓的功能情感化即在满足老年人生理需求的基础上,给予老年人一定的心理关怀,使其得到一定的心理安慰,即功能情感化。然而现在市面上的适老家具多关注老年人的生理需求,还未关注老年人的心理变化,这就对适老家具的情感化设计提出了考验:如何使家具既符合老年人生理需求,又在心理上给予其充分的安慰。在这中间,功能情感化是必须考虑的要素之一。
