Bamboo furniture design research advocates low carbon footprint home life

In recent years, low-carbon design concepts have been widely disseminated, and various design agencies have introduced programs that advocate low-carbon design. Many designers and design agencies have focused their efforts on reducing carbon emissions in order to achieve low carbon design. There are many ways to design low-carbon products. From the source, reducing carbon emissions, that is, using environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials is an important means to achieve low-carbon. Among the materials we are familiar with are bamboo. Bamboo materials are popular among designers because of their sustainable and mouldable characteristics. Bamboo derived materials have also developed very impressively in recent years. This paper aims to study and analyze existing bamboo furniture for bamboo and its extended materials. The advantages and disadvantages and feasibility of some new materials in furniture design.

With the spread of low-carbon concepts, the application of low-carbon materials in furniture design has become increasingly widespread. With the rapid development of the social economy, carbon emissions have gradually exceeded the load of the earth. Economic development and lifestyles that reduce carbon emissions have become another major trend in development. The concept of “low carbon” was put forward at the conference in Copenhagen in 2009 and is therefore popular in all aspects of life. China's furniture industry also responded at the same time. Therefore, in 2010, the “Low Carbon Economy and China Furniture Sustainable Development Seminar” was held in Guangzhou, and the low-carbon concept was brought into Chinese furniture design. The low-carbon concept became A new trend in modern home design. Understand the meaning and role of low carbon, and look for materials that can be applied to furniture design from the starting point of low carbon life. In this context, due to the development of China's furniture industry in recent years, the products generally exhibit the characteristics of high carbon emissions. The eco-friendly and sustainable furniture design needs to be designed and developed by designers. Conduct research and in-depth investigation of the low carbon materials studied. Design furniture with low carbon materials. In recent years, the economic and low carbon of bamboo materials have been loved by designers. Therefore, in recent years, the application of bamboo materials in furniture design has become more and more extensive, especially the development of derivative materials is also very rapid.

Bamboo furniture

First, the characteristics of bamboo materials

Wood is known to be the most famous low carbon material. However, the increased demand for wood has caused serious damage to the earth's vegetation. The recovery period of each tree is 60 years, but the speed of recovery has not kept pace with the development of social economy. Bamboo materials show their unique charm here.

The characteristics of bamboo are many. First of all, it should be mentioned that it has a wide range of characteristics. The global supply has 70 genera and 1,200 species, which are produced in subtropical temperate regions. According to the survey, China is the world's most abundant bamboo resource, accounting for more than 25% of the world's bamboo resources. Second, the growth cycle of bamboo is short. Compared with the recovery period of wood, a bamboo can only take 3-4 years.

It is worth mentioning that, nowadays, the technology of replacing bamboo with bamboo is becoming more and more mature. By processing the bamboo material, the bamboo material is spliced ​​into a complete sheet, the characteristics of which are very similar to those of the wood board, and the bamboo itself has the function of regulating temperature and adsorbing odor. Therefore, bamboo sheets have become more and more popular in furniture manufacturing in recent years, especially In the south, the temperature in summer is high, and the furniture made of bamboo board is cooler than the furniture made of wood, and the price is right, so it is loved by the masses.

In addition to the general bamboo plates, there is also a new type of plate, and the whole piece of bamboo has also developed. It is to make the bamboo into a complete plate by softening and dehydrating the original bamboo. It is not allowed to be glued together. The disadvantage is that the restriction of the bamboo itself causes the whole material of the bamboo to not produce an excessively large plate, and its size is limited. Therefore, the material is now applied to the production of the cutting board, and its anti-strike capability is far stronger than the flattening. Made of bamboo plates.

Second, bamboo derived materials

The development of bamboo-derived materials is an excellent result of the low-carbon concept. These materials are processed by the processing of bamboo-processed fertilizers, in addition to achieving low-carbon effects from the source, and it also combines low-carbon design concepts. The principle of re-use. These materials are mostly made of bamboo fiber. Although they are separated from the bamboo itself, they are also widely used in furniture design. Their strong reproducibility and many available features are in our low carbon furniture design. It also has a wide range of applications.

Bamboo fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber extracted from natural bamboo, which has good gas permeability, water absorption, abrasion resistance and dyeability. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of bamboo itself, such as antibacterial and adsorption. Used mostly for textile materials.

Textile materials made of bamboo fiber are often used in soft decorative design in furniture design, such as bedding, curtains and other fabrics. And now many furniture manufacturers have used bamboo fiber as a filler in sofa cushions and mattresses. Its breathable, wear-resistant and resilient properties will be better used in furniture design.

Here we will introduce several new materials made of bamboo fibrils, called bamboo fiberboard. It is a kind of particle board. Its material is different from traditional particle board. It is made of bamboo fiber and some non-toxic low-carbon binder. Its properties are almost the same as those of particle board. It can be said that in some sense, bamboo Fiberboard can replace ordinary particleboard, and due to the adsorption of bamboo material, bamboo fiberboard has stronger sound insulation and odor absorption effect than particleboard. The second type of bamboo fiber is made of bamboo fiber felt. This kind of material is produced in Dongguan area of ​​Guangzhou. It is pressed by bamboo fiber and chemical fiber material. Because of its poor hardness compared with bamboo fiber board, it has insufficient bearing capacity. The last material to be introduced is bamboo-blended fiberboard, which is made of bamboo, hemp and other materials. It has less binder and is more natural. Because it is made of bamboo and hemp mixed, its characteristics are clear at a glance, and its sound insulation and adsorption of odor are also important features. Currently used in automotive interior design, this is a new type of material, which is currently used in the design of automotive interiors. After trial and research, these bamboo-blend fiberboards can meet people's daily lives in terms of load-bearing, fireproof and moisture-proof. need. However, at present, bamboo blended fiber materials are used in furniture design. After these investigations, the application of bamboo fiber blended sheet material in furniture design is also very feasible. Through research, it is found that the bearing capacity and pressure resistance of bamboo fiber sheets are enough to satisfy people's daily life. Therefore, the application of bamboo fiber board in furniture design is a very feasible solution.

Third, the application of bamboo materials in furniture design

Low-carbon design is infiltrated into various furniture designs to play a very important role in the dissemination of low-carbon concepts. The application of bamboo in furniture design is very important. Diversified processing methods can increase the application rate of bamboo materials to a greater extent, reduce the generation of waste, and achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions. Due to the strong plasticity of bamboo, bamboo processing methods are also very numerous. The processing methods that can be applied to furniture design mainly include: bamboo weaving process, bamboo silk process, bamboo skin process, bamboo board process, bamboo whole process and so on. These processes are designed using bamboo itself as a raw material. Secondly, bamboo derived materials, such as bamboo fiber and bamboo fiber, are some of the derivative materials: bamboo fiber cloth, bamboo fiber felt, bamboo fiberboard and so on. Although these materials have different characteristics, they all have different functions in furniture design.

1. Application of bamboo material as decoration in furniture

We know that there are many kinds of bamboo, and there are many kinds of bamboos with special colors. Among them, there are Mozhu and Xiangzhu Bamboo (also known as Bamboo). Because of their special color, many designers have made it into bamboo and put it on some panel furniture, which makes the texture of these panel furniture more colorful and full of charm, and also adds a lot of fun to the uniformity of the panel furniture. These bamboos with special patterns are processed into bamboo skin, which is very thin and light, and has strong light transmission. Therefore, some designers have applied this material to the design of lamps, and these are also used as lampshades. Very personal design.

2. Bamboo material as bamboo material for furniture

Bamboo materials have been used as the main material of furniture in furniture design for hundreds of years. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many artists pursued these bamboo furniture. Because bamboo's own tenacity and its esteemed by scholars, bamboo materials have been widely used in furniture design as the main material. From the shallow point of view, the bamboo beds and bamboo chairs we have seen are common bamboo furniture. Because of the plasticity of bamboo, it is made into bamboo rafts, and the processing of bamboo weaving is carried out. Our familiar designer is Mr. Shi Dayu. He has done a lot of experiments on bamboo materials in various forms, and there are also many excellent bamboo furniture works. Such as chair gentleman, chair piano and other designs. These designs won the 2010 German Red Dot Award. He processed bamboo into bamboo chairs, bamboo stools, tea tables, cabinets, screens, and so on. By demonstrating the diversity of bamboo applications, Mr. Shi Dayu hopes to popularize the characteristics of bamboo materials and influence people's consumption habits, so that more designers and design agencies can be applied to apply these low-carbon materials to the future. Design to achieve the goal of low carbon and emission reduction [3]. It can be seen that the furniture design made of bamboo is in line with the development trend of low carbon concept and international design.

In addition to the use of bamboo materials themselves, the bamboo sheets processed are also widely used in furniture design. Its bearing capacity, compression resistance, moisture resistance and other properties are similar to wood panels, so the direct application of bamboo panels to the production of panel furniture is very simple. Again, this material is also used in the manufacture of kitchen utensils.

3. Application of bamboo derived materials in furniture design

As mentioned above, there are many materials derived from bamboo fiber and bamboo fiber as raw materials, and the application in furniture design is also very extensive. The bamboo particle board with bamboo fiber as the bamboo material is mainly used for the partition of the public toilet and the design of the door. It has good sound insulation and can absorb many odors. At the same time, some factories use bamboo particle board to make panel furniture instead of wood particle board. Some fabrics made of bamboo fiber are also used in furniture design, and have been widely used as curtains, sofa fabrics, and bedding.

Bamboo fibrils are also widely used as bamboo materials. First of all, bamboo fibrils are used as fillers, which are applied to many sofas and mattresses. Because bamboo itself has strong adsorption, sofas and mattresses with bamboo fiber as fillers have moisture resistance, adjustable temperature, etc. Characteristics; Secondly, the bamboo fiber felt we know also appears as a sound insulation board in various furniture designs, and some people apply it to the furniture design and design, this material can also replace the felt in a certain sense. This is also a direction that can be explored a lot. There is also a bamboo blended fiberboard. Our research has found that it is made into a plate by proportional mixing of bamboo and hemp. Although the weight bearing is not as strong as the particle board, it can meet the needs of people's daily life. The use of bamboo blended fiberboard in furniture design can be an innovative attempt. Through various experiments we can conclude that this new material can be used flexibly in furniture design.

Fourth, the conclusion

By studying the application of bamboo materials in various aspects of furniture design, we can clearly understand that a material can be presented in many ways, and it can be designed by various design methods. The traditional materials are reprocessed to obtain new materials, to achieve multi-use of materials, to reprocess waste materials, to synthesize new materials, and to reduce material waste. This is also a new design concept that is also in line with the concept of low-carbon design. . By discovering new materials and discovering materials that have not been used in furniture design, applying them to furniture design is a very rewarding thing. Low-carbon design is a long-term and necessary research topic. Bamboo materials and their derived materials can be said to be in the ascendant in furniture design. Our future research focus can shift the application of bamboo materials in furniture to the application of bamboo fiber materials in furniture design, and can carry out more profound and thorough research on bamboo derived materials. The goal of achieving low carbon and comfortable life through our design is the goal of our research, which is also the research and development direction of future furniture design.
