In this study, brands that were exhibited in the "2017 Creative Expo Taiwan" were screened for features that belong to furnishings family as the subjects of the study. The subject brands were divided into furniture, lamps, and household goods categories. Through universal suffrage, a total of 81 creative brands were screened into 18 furniture brands, 10 lighting material brands, 53 household goods of creative brands. Then, from the screened out creative brands' official websites, 5 iconic commodities which can best represent the cultural and creative brands were selected from each website. A total of 405 research samples were selected. The focus group interview method and content analysis method were applied as means to analyze the characteristics of Taiwan's brand design. Photos of the three categories of furniture, lamps, and household goods were processed through the coding tables and the reliability tests were done for the three encoders. Then, the coding of the content analysis was applied. Through the analysis, features of Taiwan's furnishing creative brands was established to provide a reference for brand operators and literary researchers of Taiwan's creative industry. In this study, the research operation was carried out on November 18th, 2018. 7 team members were specialists in design and have more than 5 years of design experience expertise. The focus group interview method was applied to establish categories of furnishings of creative brands. The isomorphic professional background of the focus group helped this research to achieve the establishment of the categories from 405 research samples of Taiwan's creative furnishing brands. 6 categories containing 47 subcategories were discussed. A total of 122 research samples from 405 samples were used to test the reliability of the 3 encoders whose expertise was screened for 5 years of design experience and in the design related professional fields. The coefficient of the 3 encoders was 0.89, which was a prestigious encoder reliability so that this study can successfully enter the operation stage of the formal coding. The findings of this study were based on the 6 categories and 47 subcategories of the research structure. 6 categories are structural characteristics, styling types, color types, texture types, decorative techniques, and technology. From the distribution of the 6 categories, texture types (372 times, 27.1%) is the most commonly used design feature followed by styling types (325 times, 23.7%), color types (314 times, 22.9%), technology (123 times, 9.0%), decorative techniques (121 times, 8.8%), and structural characteristics (117 times, 8.5%). The result of structural characteristics is less because only furniture products with the need for loadbearing would pay special consideration for the design. Also, the research samples were relatively small as the furniture category only consisted of 18 creative brands. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that Taiwan's furnishing brand design commodities are mainly based on the structural characteristics of wood homogeneous inlays. Decorative depiction techniques and open mold technology are applied the most. In the styling types category, circular geometric shapes are the most. As for color types, commodities with colors are more than those without colors. Among commodities with colors, design features are more prominent in wood colors. |
