The Design Method of “Semiosis” in Interior Furnishing Design
The “semiosis” design method of interior furnishing design from three steps is explained, and its feasibility is demonstrated through a case study, and it is proposed that the design elements extracted in the first two steps should be further organized and applied in the space.
Abstract
Following the intensified trend of “jumbling together” and “crisis of feature” in interior furnishing design, there is a pressing need for design with “integrality” and “difference”. In this paper, we explain the “semiosis” design method of interior furnishing design from three steps, and demonstrate its feasibility through a case study. The first step is the integration and analysis of design background information. Second, we suggest extracting the design elements in the way of abstracting form, keeping archetype, choosing typical. Finally, we propose that the design elements extracted in the first two steps should be further organized and applied in the space. The main methods include the principle of motif repetition, unification and minimalism. We conclude that these research approaches have the potential to achieve design effects such as “integrality” and “difference”, and solve the issues of “jumbling together” and “crisis of feature” in interior furnishing design.
