浅析老年家具设计的发展趋势

Research on the Development Trend of Furniture Design for Elderly

我国的人口数量庞大,近年来随着社会经济的发展和生活质量的改善,人口结构出现的一个新特点就是老龄化速度加快。调查数据显示,截至2017年底,我国的老年人口数量已经达到了2.4亿,约占总人口比例的17%,表明我国老龄化社会已逐步形成,适应老年人特点的家具开发与研究也成为家居产业的一个重点。因此,对老年家具的设计提出了更高的要求,具备舒适、减压、理疗、缓解疲劳等特点的家具需求量大大增加。通过对老年群体的常见行为特点进行分析,结合老年家具的一般要求的功能,对当前老年家具的设计方法进行研究,以期为未来老年家具的设计探索新思路。

In recent years,with the development of social economy and the improvement of life quality,a new feature of population structure in China is the acceleration of aging. Survey data showed that by the end of 2017,the number of the elderly population in China had reached 240 million,accounting for about 17% of the total population,which showed that China’s aging society was gradually taking shape. As an increasing proportion of social groups,furniture development and research adapted to their characteristics has become a focus of household industry. In addition,with the increase of work pressure,more middleaged people and even young people also have health problems,which makes the increased demand of furniture with comfort,decompression,physiotherapy,alleviating fatigue and other characteristics. The common characteristics of the elderly,middle-aged and young people with poor health are poor physical quality,weakness and slow action,which need more attention and protection. Since then,higher requirements have been put forward for the design of furniture for the elderly. This paper intends to analyze the common behavior characteristics of the elderly group by combining the function of the general requirements of the elderly furniture. Aiming at studying the current design methods of the elderly furniture,the new ideas for the future design of the elderly furniture are explored.
