Aesthetic Evaluation of Furniture Design Based on ANP Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasing growth of furniture industry, it has led to much attention on scheme optimization and selection. An approach based on Analytic Network Process (ANP) is proposed in order to improve the evaluation system of furniture design, which is comprised of aesthetic indexes of product design schemes, as well as to select the best scheme and guide the improvement of the best scheme in case study. ANP method is used to obtain the optimal weight performance of the correlative indexes by using SuperDecisions software program, after establishing aesthetic index system by Expert Questionnaire Method. The final result of index weights shows form, color, and ergonomically designed are the most important indexes, which are 0.286559, 0.185002, and 0.132272, respectively.
