Ergonomic and Sensory Design Analysis of Functional Living Doom Sofas
As economic levels continue to rise,people have greater expectations for their quality of life. In home living,multifunctional and intelligent furniture is increasingly prevalent. Among these,sofas are one of the key pieces of furniture contributing to domestic happiness. Besides standard sofas,there is a growing presence of functional sofas,which impose additional demands on design. To understand the market overview and design elements of functional sofas,this study conducts an online market research,selecting well-known functional sofa brands from both domestic and international markets,and organizing an analysis of living room functional sofa products by different brands through ergonomics. Based on the five sensory aspects of human perception—visual,tactile,auditory,olfactory,and gustatory—the study analyzes the design highlights and needs of functional sofas,which aids designers in considering sofa design elements from a user's sensory needs perspective. Building on this,the paper summarizes the current status and future trends of living room functional sofas. Functional sofas have a low penetration rate in the domestic market but hold a broad market potential. Besides emphasizing visual and tactile design elements,consideration should also be given to how auditory,olfactory,and gustatory elements can be integrated into products to enhance their added value.
