Individualization and Cultural Connotation of Furniture
Modern people have a strong sense of individuality, and they often want to show their own characteristics in the objects they use, especially in clothing. On furniture, this is also beginning to appear. In fact, it contains a kind of "personal story" complex in people's minds, which is intended to reflect personal status, experience, interests, ambitions and hobbies in the furniture used. The individuation of modeling just meets this demand. Modern consumers always want their furniture to be unique in style and unique in shape, belonging only to themselves.
Although furniture is a household appliance, it is the main product that is fixed in the family and used all the time, so it must contain the cultural connotation of this era and show people's life tastes and customs. This connotation shows strong nationality and historicity. China's Ming-style furniture, with its simple and smooth shape, reveals the realm of "harmony between man and nature" of the literati class at that time with lofty aspirations and indifferent mood; For example, Ligne Roset, a top brand furniture in contemporary France, and Rolf Berz, a famous brand furniture in Germany, have almost the same products in terms of modern technical indicators, comfort and practical scope, but their styles are quite different. The former is free and romantic, while the latter is very strict with himself, which reflects the differences between French Gauls and German Germanic peoples.
Therefore, the furniture in the consumption-oriented era pays great attention to its cultural connotation, which is full of nationality and historical sense. It is embodied in the design vocabulary of styles and shapes. Whether modern or traditional, Chinese or western, the furniture in China market is mainly used by China people, showing people their way of life in the form of the existence of the Chinese nation, and the content is self-evident.
To deeply understand the cultural connotation, we must have a deep understanding of our own culture.
