Analysis of Full-option Furniture Design for Better Development of Furniture for One-room Type Multi-family Housing around Campus

This study aims to classify types of full-option furniture designs and analyze design characteristics for better development of furniture for one-room type multi-family housing around campus. The study was based on empirical methodology; this included a field visit conducted by researchers, followed by surveys and in-depth interviews carried out after a critical review of previous studies. A total of nine valid responses were collected. Major findings were as follows. Users found the built-in type of furniture highly satisfactory because this type ensured that storage space was easy to secure in a narrow living space, and a clean atmosphere was created through a unified color scheme. However, since the built-in bookshelf and closet was built to the ceiling, the higher spaces could not be used effectively. The general furniture type was found to be satisfactory to the users because this type of furniture could be freely placed when users wanted to rearrange. However, the furniture finish was peeling or broken, and the color scheme was not harmonized among furniture items due to worn-out furniture. The problems with the built-in and general types of furniture were all found in the case of the mixed type. The standard built-in furniture was found to be inconvenient because it did not consider the size of adult male and female college students. When providing full-option furniture for one-room type multi-family housing, designers and providers should consider a combination of built-in and general types of furniture that allows users to efficiently use narrow spaces.
