| The relationship between the exterior characters of cotton fabric and the design of sofa is discussed in this thesis, and the exterior characters are analyzed, such as color, texture, pattern, modality, and luster, as well as the according features of style design on it. Then the design methods and principles of sofa design based on cotton fabric's exterior features are concluded.The color of cotton fabric is the base of sofa's color.

When different processing of suture is taken, it forms different texture of plus matters, mould different modality.The molding of cotton fabric's pattern is also plentiful, and it usely goes away with color or texture. It has a main impact of ornamental design of sofa. The design of cotton fabric's pattern is closely linked to pairing up color. The reengineer of pattern is same to texture's, such as morphotropism design, destructive design, spliceosome design, additional ornamental design, etc.. Embroider is common method in pattern reengineer, and it can make the effect more plentiful. Using embroider usually can convey design information or other.The character of cotton fabric mainly affects sofa's functional interface design. The cotton fabric is soft feeling, comfortable security, that been used most on railing, slipcover, cushion for leaning on, and others as well,which is adapt to getting in touch with people.
