The Analysis Of Bionic Furniture Design Based On Product Semantics

In furniture design, rich and colorful elements of nature and livings are designers’ largest source of inspiration. Nature and livings give designers’aspiration from the aspects including function, material, color and form. Thus there emerge a large number of outstanding bionic furniture cases.From the perspective of semantic analysis, this paper uses relevant theory of product semantics to discuss the related laws of bionic furniture and design. On the basis of organizing basic types of bionic furniture finishing, this paper does the research on the denotation and connotation structure of bionic via semantic analysis, discusses the relationship between the communication mechanism and level as well as coding and decoding and analyzes the limit function of context in the process of the semantic transportation in three levels. This paper also finds that the semantic transportation must take place in the same context so that the designers’purpose can be accurately transported. Semantic representation of product semantics in the bionic furniture is mainly reflected in three aspects:function, emotion and fun. The bionic furniture expresses the designing purpose of its using methods and convenience in function. The expression methods of instinct, behavior and reflection are analyzed emotionally and the emotional communication between the furniture and buyers is strengthened by emotional semantic transportation.The expression form and using value of fun semantic in the furniture are discussed from three levels of semantic rhetoric, biological aesthetics and ecological ethics. This paper researches three main rhetoric semantics changing simile, metaphor and allegory in the design of bionic furniture, analyzes the application of metonymy and metaphor and allegory in the rhetoric of function and the two more special symbolic meaning of radical and ridicule as well as game and play. The three methods of rhetoric will help the designer of bionic furniture design convey design concept. Finally, according to the research contents of this paper sum up the five steps of the function and symbolic meaning of the clear design objective and constraints in bionic design of furniture, designing comprehensive application, CAD view, program effect diagram and design and from the types of bionic furniture, the connotation and extension of semantic, coding and decoding method and semantic rhetoric analysis, the design practical plan is evaluated. The feasibility of the design method is verified by design practice.This paper confirms that if the product semantic analysis can be applied in the furniture in full consideration of context, transportation methods and rhetoric, relatively fuller than ordinary bionic furniture design, designers will get help to convey their designing purposes more accurate and the intonation of the furniture can be improved.
