The Creation of 3D Modular Furniture Design Inspired by the Arts on Beam of Huizhou Architecture

Abstract

In the global design trend, integrating traditional aesthetics into modern design to achieve innovative transformation is an urgent need. Huizhou architecture, as a world cultural heritage, its beam art combines mechanics and aesthetics and has distinct regional characteristics. Modular furniture design, with its flexibility and adaptability, has become the key to addressing modern space demands. This research aims to analyze the beam artistic features of Huizhou architecture and creatively transform them into 3D modular furniture designs. Through literature analysis, field investigations, and expert interviews, the core characteristics of Huizhou beams in components, mortise and tenon combinations, and decorations were systematically examined. Subsequently, the research proposed a design path of "form extraction - element deconstruction - modern translation - module reorganization", completing the design of 4 modular units and the 3D conceptual display of 6 spatial combination forms. The results of a questionnaire survey conducted by professional designers showed that the design achieved a satisfaction rate of 93.2% in cultural inheritance and 93.2% in industrialization potential. The high recognition of the design successfully explored an innovative path for the contemporary dynamic inheritance of traditional architectural culture.
