Abstract

This is a study and work of furniture design adopted from a natural phenomenon, especiallyfrom the changing shapes of the moon. The drawer of furniture, a part frequently contactedwith our hand (human body) is well related to the symbolism of the moon, which includeslife conception and fertility. I created various forms of drawer handle shaped from themoon phases, which give a furniture design esthetical, symbolic and formative meanings. Thecharacteristics of my drawer furniture designs are classified into 3 types. First, as the volumesof drawers increase, the handle shapes also change differently: old moon, crescent, half moonand full moon. Second, without keeping time order, drawers may have the same sizes withhandles freely selected and arranged by formative accounts. Third, both increasingly changingtype and freely selected and arranged type are combined to make a composite structure. In theirsimple geometric forms, these furnitures can provide nature intimacy, which fulfill the needs ofour time.
