SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

The student who takes this course explains the principles of furniture design in terms of concept, structure, setup, form, functionality, material, ergonomics and details, and can create optimum designs as a result of the design, projecting, detailing and application stages.

Course Content:

In the content of this course, introduction to furniture design, one of the basic elements of furniture design; issues of form, functionality, structure, ergonomics, materials and cost are included. Besides, introduction of materials that can be used in furniture design (wood, plastic, glass, metal, fabric, stone), analysis of existing examples, student projects; Product synthesis and problem analysis, examination of project presentation techniques, model work, detail development, development of different alternatives and realization of product delivery are among the contents of the course.
