A Study on Module Furniture Design -Focus on Reiteration and Expansion-

모듈(Module) 가구디자인에 대한 연구 -반복(Reiteration)과 확장(Expansion)을 중심으로-

The forms made by repeated arrangements of basic units defined as Simulakre are recomposed into organic, geometric or multi-functional forms by diverse combinations and arrangements and the space expanded by reiterated compositions will have the meaning of active space expansions representing speeds, rhythms or time by reiterations instead of a limited and fixed place shown by a work. The module design that can create new roles and functions of spaces that are variability and fluidity and that can be assembled and transformed into the shapes, sizes and functions desired by users will be analyzed applying the concepts of reiteration and expansion. The module designs emerging in 21th century are in diverse organic forms and geometric forms and their methods for expansion are also diversified. And instead of having a function, they have diverse functions such as storages, partitions, walls, curtains and soundproofing. The development of module designs are first to satisfy the diversified needs, individualities and desires to posses of modem people and second the development, finding and application of new materials. In the future spaces that will continuously develop and will be nomadic, the flexible and individualized module designs will become more diversified and will have their significances.
