The Relationship beetween Furniture Purchasers and Producers in the Joseon Period

This study is a review on the relationship between furniture purchasers and producers in the Joseon period. Understanding the relationships in our traditional spirit and the Joseon fur-niture that reflects a aesthetic sense is a meaningful work. Joseon was to build an ideal country which put emphasis on the order and harmony through Theory of ‘Yeak’ as the confucianism nation. Human aesthetics, which emphasis on the spiritual value by confirmity to nature and for-cus on the relaxed, deficient personality rather than completeness was established as the central formative consciousness of the Joseon Dynasty. The nature of things in the confucian scholar pri-or to the representations of things is expressed in the form of master craftsman’s skill and soul. Formative consciousness of the confucian scholar is to realize ideals by communciation and inter-change with master craftsman’s soul in the form of the Joseon furniture. The beauty of restraint and brevity in the Joseon Dynasty furniture includes meanings and procedures of art work. It im-plies an orderer’s purpose of production and a producer’s products. Understanding the spirit of times in the production becomes the cornerstone capable of getting closer to the furniture ultimate proper function. These problems have a very close relationship with the problems of modern peo-ple’s commnuication. We expect an even higher growth of the furniture by achieving more im-proved communication based on the consumer’s great insight and the producer’s passion.
