Abstract
As a detailed process for the development of new wooden furniture design that is to be used in elderly group homes, this study measured and analyzed physical and visual durability of joint techniques, one of the essential manufacturing techniques. By selecting a total of 4 joint techniques, an experiment to measure a compressive strength was conducted and targeting a group of 50 elderly people, a survey on visual durability and preference of visual aesthetics was carried on. As a result of closely analyzing the experiment of measuring compressive strength and the preference survey, 'mitre joint technique' was found to be the most suitable in manufacturing wooden furniture and through follow-up studies, the result of this study will be applied in the development of wooden furniture design for elderly group homes.
