Then the design dilemma caused the market situation and the countermeasures would be explored through questionnaire. First of all, utilizing the literature, the research purpose and significance of the dilemma and countermeasure for new Chinese style furniture design were probed after the development process of Chinese furniture was traced and the market situation of new Chinese style furniture was elaborated. Secondly, the method of questionnaire survey, for the collection of the problems, vast literature was summed up and studied, and the market research on new Chinese style furniture brands was carried out. Meanwhile, the problems were summed up and subdivided before the subjection degree analysis was made by the experts of the field.
