가구디자인에 적용된 조인트의 소재 사례 연구

At a time when the making culture is promoted, this paper aims to resolve the issue of half-finished furniture, which limits creative ideas.
As a way to resolve this issue, this study examines the features and functions of cases related to joints and suggests the following three ways for the development of furniture design that uses joints. First, with the spread of 3D printers, joints can be easily produced and this can promote the production of modularized furniture. Second, by using joint materials, it is possible to produce furniture of variable forms through the combination of chemical sources that are used in various areas such as medicine, fabrics as well as furniture. Third, voluntary design is possible by assembling and processing ready-made goods and expendables that used to be thrown away and by upcycling them.
This study can be used as base data about the materials and functions of joints that are used in furniture. It has significance in that it can lead to creative manufacture using easy-to-use and convenient joints.
