Through a combination of furniture or the specific changeof form of furniture, it can make furniture multi-functional to meet theneed of the limited living space.Through the case study of outstanding furniture design cases insideand outside our country and the minimalist-designed multi-functionalchildren’s bookshelf design, under the understanding of the developmentof the overall trend of the furniture and even the small dwelling-sizeapartment furniture as well as their needs, this dissertation is going to conduct the sampling survey and statistical analysis on the existingbookshelf products, consumer behavior and psychology as well as marketsituation. At the same time, it will do further analysis on several elementsinvolving in designing small dwelling-size apartment furniture, such asspace, color, shape and user’s mental effect.
