| Human's life style has had the largest number of changes in China due to the rapid development of the times, while people's living behavior and using implements has changed also. Recently, as quality of life of human being has been improved a lot, commodity product has been focused on. The turning point in using pillow can't be investigate now. But the truth is that pillow is related to people's behavior-sleeping. keeping up with the advance of the time, people raised awareness of fitness by health education, while pillow design tend to healthcare. Sleeping behaviors occupy one-third of people's live, which is very important for human being. When we are asleep, our necks directly contact with the pillow. According to physiological characteristics, the neck is one of the most vulnerability of the body and lack of protection, with the passage of time and aging. At the same time, nowadays people's fast live style make that neck problem tend to generalize. It begins to tough questions affecting people's lives. So my dissertation is based on neck physiological characteristics to do design research. At first I look up plenty of literatures about all kind of pillow. According to the development history and status of pillow, I systematic analysis the morphology and material properties changing with the times. Form traditional pillow we have to learn a kind of health philosophy and its referential significance should be aroused wide concern. After the research of physiological characteristics, according to characteristic curve of neck, design requirements about pillow design is established in a rational way. In the light of combination of China's current social context and research status, I finish the research about pillow design positioning. |
